Samsung introduced an updated version of its Q1 UMPC (Ultra Mobile Personal Computer) dubbed Q1 Ultra.

This is one of the worst product names in a while. Naming a product that already has Ultra in the product category name is very weird. Why not call it Q2? The form factor and the additional buttons are making the Q1 Ultra different enough from the Q1.

Samsung even headlined the Q1 Ultra in their CeBit micro site with "The Ultra Experience". We have to worry that the Samsung marketing department is overdosing on the word Ultra.

So besides the stupid name what else is new? The Samsung Q1 Ultra features integrated thumb buttons, smaller form factor than the Q1, lighter weight, 1,024x600px resolution, HSDPA, 60GB disk, WiFi, Bluetooth and runs Vista Home Premium.

Engadget has some live photos from the CeBit of the Q1 Ultra. See also the Samsung site.
