UPDATE: You can now read our full review of the Samsung Q1.

A few more details of the Origami tablet, which I managed to snatch a picture of (lright). You can see the novel soft keyboard split between the lower left and right of the screen.

I asked Kyu Uhm, vice president of Samsung computer-systems marketing team, whether the new interface meant Microsoft is giving up on handwriting recognition, which is actually good on a tablet. I also asked why the model shown used an ultra-low voltage Celeron rather than a more powerful dual-core.

It seems that the screen is only 800 by 600 resolution and there is autoscaling to render correctly web pages that have been designed for more typical higher resolutions. If the digitiser on the screen is of the same resolution then handwriting recognition may not work well.

Uhm said there will be a Celeron model at about 1000-1200 euros and a mobile Pentium version at around 1500 euros. There’s another press conference on this earlt tomorrow, so I’ll write more then.
