If you want to get your hands on Samsung's Q1, well the gadget Gods may have given you a break. The Samsung UMPC - the very first brand-name device to use Microsoft's Origami Project software, is now available at all 32 Fry's Electronics locations in the US as well as in some Best Buy stores in Texas.

Up until this development, the Q1 has only been sold online by limited stores. According to Samsung, the Q1 is experiencing "strong initial sales" and maybe that pushed them to sell the Q1 in U.S. Stores.

This statement was countered by IDC analyst, Richard Shim, by saying that the product demand for UMPCs appears to be fairly limited, by saying that "if there were truly big demand for this, you'd think it would be a nationwide Best Buy move, rather than just in Texas". Good point.

Shim contined by saying that there has been little interest coming from big name computer makers and/or major Asian contract manufacturers that has the capability and the resources to make most UMPCs. With that, it ain't suprising that Microsoft is said to be prepping for the release of a new type of device - the Vistagami, which will come with an updated software based on Windows Vista.
