Samsung also brought out a new version of its UMPC, with high hopes for better sales this time round. The Samsung Q1 was one of the marquee products at CeBIT 2006, but it never really took off. "We targeted 100,000 units, but so far we didn't reach that target yet," Kyuho Uhm, Samsung's vice president of strategic marketing, said at a CeBIT news conference, according to the Reuters news agency.
This year, Samsung is trying its luck with the Q1 Ultra. The second-generation model reportedly sports a number of improvements -- in areas including the keyboard, battery life, wireless connectivity and screen quality -- along with GPS navigation capabilities, a mobile TV chip and two cameras, the company says. It is expected to go on sale in May for around £799.
