Texas is about to lose its designation as the UMPC-state. Only Texas Best Buy stores carried the Samsung Q1 (and only one other chain, Fry’s, carried the unit domestically). All of that is about to change:
“The company signed the UMPC supply contract with Best Buy of US that expands supply to 240 all Best Buy stores in US from current 20 Best Buy stores and completed display in the whole 40 Price stores and 56 CompuUSA stores. Samsung has built its foundation to attack the US market by supply of single product of UMPC to major discount stores in US.”
This only bodes well for the UMPC form factor overall. Of the three obstacles facing the UMPC (distribution, price and battery life), one of them seems to finally be coming off the table.
