Samsung Q1 rumor roundup

Q1_rumorsThe rumors swirling above the heads of Samsung UMPC owners have picked up some speed since yesterday’s Vista launch.

Just in case you’ve been preoccupied with the fantastic new HTC Athena gallery posted at MoBlog, here’s a quick recap of everything going on in the Q1 space. Follow the links for some Coffee Talk.

Q2 is coming soon. This new "Vista-specific product" will supposedly run Vista on an AMD processor and be priced at less than $800. [Discuss]

Q1P ships with Vista preinstalled. This isn’t really a rumor, as it can already be preordered at PC Connection and CDW, but as far as Samsung is concerned, the Q1P runs Genuine Windows XP Tablet. The Vista Q1P is obviously real (NP-Q1-F000), but until it joins the current Q1P (NP-Q1-V002), it’ll have a place on this list. [Discuss]

Vista upgrade is free. People who bought their Q1s after a certain date will receive a free upgrade to Vista Business. [Discuss]

No, it isn’t. [Discuss]
