Engadget
have gotten their hands on some slides that reveal details about an
unannounced successor to Samsung's Q1 ultra-mobile PC. The successor, which is
dubbed Q2, will apparently run Windows Vista Home Premium and offer a number of
hardware enhancements over the Q1. While some of the specs appear to be
identical to the beefed-up Q1P -- like the 7-inch touchscreen, 1GB of RAM, and
60GB hard drive -- other features, along with a revised form factor, are
completely new to a model that we expect to be unveiled almost a year to the day
after its predecessor, at CeBIT 2007. According to the PowerPoint presentation
which you can view in the gallery below, the Q2 will sport an unknown Intel (not
Via) CPU running Vista Home Premium, a 1,024 x 600 WSVGA resolution (no 800 x
600 here), two digital cameras (1.3 megapixel for "photography" and 0.3
megapixel for videoconferencing), and a fingerprint scanner. Most exciting,
though, are your connectivity and input options; the Q2 tacks on a much-needed,
albeit split QWERTY keyboard and -- get this -- Bluetooth 2.0, WiFi (802.11b/g),
HSDPA, and WiBro. And last, but not least, the slides say the Q2 will have up to
6.5 hours of battery life with an extended battery-a definite improvement over
the original Q1, whose battery only lasted about three hours.
