Samsung Q1 ultra mobile tablet pc

[ffutures]

More temptation - there are several Q1 tablet computers quite cheap on eBay UK at the moment, a little bigger and heavier than what I want but quite an interesting-looking small tablet PC with a 7" screen. Starting off around £140 with a screen that has "heavy stylus marks." Snag is the mini keyboard and case isn't included and only 3 hours battery life. I think I'll resist for now - if it was about half the thickness and a longer battery life I'd be much more tempted.

Hello?

I happen to have, gathering dust, a Samsung Q1 keyboard and case. (No, don't ask. I just have.) The keyboard is missing the rubber nub that covers the trackpoint device, but apart from that it's fine.

If you're going to eastercon and want them, prod me a couple of days beforehand and I'll pack them: otherwise, yours for the cost of postage (once I dig out the case -- I know where the KB is).

Get thee behind me, Satan...

Many thanks, but I think I'm going to resist the urge to buy a Q1 - they look really cool, but ones I can afford are fairly battered, and they're bigger and heavier than I want to lug around on a routine basis. My goal is still something I can carry easily in a pocket and use as a web browser, ebook reader, to take notes for writing projects, etc. The Q1 is about hardback book size, which is just a bit too big for that.

BTW - it's my impression, going by the prices charged for the full Q1 kit, that the case and keyboard is probably worth a tidy bit of change. Might be worth your while putting it up on eBay.

I don't know if you'd considered one, but a Nokia N series internet tablet might do the job... It's not got mobile phone connectivity by the way, despite being from nokia.

The oldest models are relatively cheap on ebay, (£50-£70 second hand for an n770)

Screen's too tiny and the keyboard really isn't up to typing at any speed. Basically, I want something like a slightly smaller version of a netbook; Paperback book or DVD case sized, say a 7" screen without the unnecessarily bulky surround and a 2/3rds size keyboard without the surround and pad you get on most netbooks,
