Samsung Q1 Origami Device at CeBit

The Samsung Q1 Origami Ultra Mobile PC device was spotted at the CeBit electronics show in Germany, and you can be sure other consumer electronics / PC manufacturers are lining-up their own versions of UMPC devices this year.

Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. is showing off the Q1 UMPC device, which is based on Microsoft's Origami Project  tablet PC design and running a special edition of Windows XP, 900MHz Intel Corp. Celeron microprocessor, and has 500MB of RAM.  The Samsung Q1 has WLAN, 802.11 A/G and Bluetooth connections, and uses touch-screen controls.

It looks like Samsung's Q1 is first out of the gate with an Origami device, ahead of Microsoft's official announcement at CeBit tommorrow.
