Samsung NP-Q1EX
Mar 4, 2009 gps navigation, samsung, umpc

Samsung is getting ready to release an UMPC here at the States – as we discovered going thru FCC docs. Possibly called Samsung NP-Q1EX, the device will feature a 7″ WSVGA touch screen with 1024×600px resolution and run on an VIA Isaiah CPU. On the back of the device there’s also a digital camera, but as of now we’re not sure what the specs for this are (maybe 1.3MP). For connection Samsung NP-Q1EX offers Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth.
Even though not mentioned in the semi-complete user manual, a few test setup photos also revealed an SiRF Star embedded GPS receiver which made us very happy here at Navigadget.

Other specs we could dig up were the 4000mAh battery, SD card slot, 3.5mm audio jack, and HDD for storage.

After sending an inquiry to Samsung, it appears the Q1EX doesn’t have the GPS enabled after all. It sounds like the hardware might still be in there, but no drivers are included. This is the response I got back from customer service:
“The Q1-EX does not have any GPS functionality. The GPS hardware inside the Q1-EX is non-functional, as the GPS feature was scrapped during production.”
