So 3 people get on stage to show how great and brilliant the Samsung Q1 UMPC is, y'know, all "Steve Jobs-like". One is the Vice President of Samsung, the 2nd is the President of Microsoft Korea, and the 3rd is the President Intel Korea. None of these people can do the presentation they wanted because it goes freaky on them in 3 diffferent ways. Things like the battery dying on stage, and taking 'several minutes' to bring up the on screen keyboard and advance the slideshow.

Admittedly SJ himself has had the odd thing go wrong on stage, but for 3 people to have botched presentations of a new piece of hardware.. well they must have wanted the ground to open up below them!!!

PS. To the unknowing, a UMPC, previously known as Microsoft tech called Origami, is a tablet PC without an optical drive, and smaller, so it has something like a 7-8" touchscreen. Its the new thing in Windowsland.


Look after my manor, or I will bum you, literally, to death.
