Running the latest Windows XP Tablet PC edition with Touchpack software it’s a slim and very portable device. However, as most first generation devices it is targeted mainly at early adopters. With about 3 hours operating time and 1.4 hours of external DVD playback time it is not the device that you carry and use everywhere. Especially if you load it with software and have to boot Windows every time you want to use it.
However Instant on Multimedia feature, which bypasses Windows for the playback of media files makes it an interesting competitor for other portable media players. If you don’t mind paying extra $500 for HD media player which doubles as a very portable PC, Samsung Q1 might be a very interesting choice.
