Just what I needed
- Pros: The right size. (the sony ux is TOO small...never thought I would say THAT!) Just enough processor, ram, hdd, and with the 6-cell optional battery, just enough battery life. With the integrated keybopard in the organizer it is a good laptop...pop the tablet out of the organizer and it is a truly portable PC. I got all the options...KB, a Targus Bluetooth Mouse, bluetooth headphones, the car charger, an extra AC adapter for travel and one permanently affixed to my desk at home. A nylon case from Targus $xx completes the ensemble but is not needed. In the Samsung organizer the pc and KB together are the size of a day-planner book.
- Cons: Wish there was a PC-card (PCMCIA) interface instead of the CF memory interface. I want to link to wireless broadband via Verizon/Sprint/Cingular. The UX has this as an optional internal card. Bluetooth sometimes cannot keep up with a bluetooth mouse and the Motorola H820 stereo headphones when used together. If the headphones start to "stutter" turn off the mouse and use the pointer stylus.
- Other Thoughts: As near perfect a truly new category of computer product as I have seen. The next generation of this should be right on the money...Little was left out and what was included works well with the few caveats I mentioned.
They've finally made a handheld PC
- Pros: lightweight, easily carried in a purse or briefcase, enough processing power to carry out everyday tasks with reasonable speed, most importantly it runs Windows XP so most anything that will install on your home pc will install on this
- Cons: battery life is about 1.5 to 2 hours with constant processor and hard drive usage, 3 hours at most at idle, This however is enough for what I want to use it for
- Other Thoughts: Overall a very well thought out product with plenty of connectivity.

Love it so much!
- Pros: Superb. Those reviewers who can't figure out what it's for are clueless. Light, small, much easier to carry than most PC's. I can read or surf while lying down; take it with me to the library or whatever.
- Cons: 800x400 resolution sometimes inconvenient; bumping up the rez is easy but makes text blurry. For small amounts of data entry I'd love a thumb keyboard; the on-screen keyboard is cumbersome, handwriting "recognition" useless. Bluetooth locks up if I send too much data through it. Short battery life. No SD card reader.
- Other Thoughts: I use a Stowaway Bluetooth keyboard and a Bluetooth mouse, which work great and are light and convenient. It has so many great design features built in. I love this machine so much that I'm upgrading to a Q1 Ultra, which addresses all my Cons.
Very Pleased
- Pros: It is faster and more powerful than I expected. Fills the gap between my Pocket PC and my 17 inch screen laptop quite well. Pretty good choice for a "road warrior" that needs more power and compatibility than a handheld, but more compact than a laptop. For entertainment AND work. Screen quality is excellent, especially considering that it is a touch screen.
- Cons: The Compact Flash card slot is a joke... and a poor joke at that. Incredibly slow: With the Q1 otherwise idle; Transferring 3 .01 gigs of mixed files from a 120X CF card in the slot takes 55.5 minutes. Transferring the same files from the same card through a CF->USB adapter takes only 14.1 minutes.
So, if you are a photographer transferring big capacity cards from a high megapixel camera, either be very patient or find a different solution.
I don't like the way that things scroll using the stylus. There may be a way to change that through settings, but I haven't found it yet. It will only scroll a few lines before 'stalling', then you have to pick up the stylus, tap outside the scroll bars and start over. The directional cursor buttons on the right or the jog knob on the left work better for scrolling, but it is kind of inconvenient compared to using the stylus.
- Other Thoughts: You definitely will want to get an external keyboard if you are going to do much text entry unless you are a highly skilled cell phone 'texter'.
An external mouse makes things easier if you are at a desk or table too.
While there are some reports of people getting a Compact Flash GPS to work with these units, most people can't get them to function. I sure couldn't after three solid days of trying. The GPS experts say that the internal signals of the computer interfere with the GPS signals.
So, I bought a cheap USB GPS, and it works like a dream. Most people get a bluetooth one, and report that it works fine. So, if you already have a CF GPS, give it a try, maybe you will get lucky. If not, and you want to use the Q1 for navigating, plan to buy either USB or Bluetooth.
Great tool!
- Pros: The Q1 is a great fit between the small size of a normal PDA and the power of a laptop. I needed something more than my iPAQ but couldn't lug around my Sony Vaio, the Q1 was the perfect answer. Screen clarity and resolution are great, and battery life for me with the standard battery is 4-5 hours even using a USB powered external H/D, I couldn't ask for more. I run M/S Office including Powerpoint as well as several other applications and the Superlink that comes with the Q1 allows easy backup to my office PC. A great investment and a reliable, versatile tool for productivity.
- Cons: You have to be patient with the handwriting recognition if you use the stylus, it takes a while to get comfortable with, but I normally use the keyboard anyway so it wasn't a problem for me. The only real problem I've encountered is that it is difficult to remove compactflash cards from the unit but this may get easier with time, after a couple of months they still fit so tight they're hard to get out without prying them out.
- Other Thoughts: Definitely invest in the organizer with the USB keyboard, it makes the Q1 very easy to keep with you and use at a moment's notice.
