Q1b in the news

Tuesday, April 24th, 2007

Brighthand.com has a review of the Q1b up.  I can’t disagree too much with the article, it’s pretty much correct in most regards.  I will say they don’t give too many comments on features but the generalizations are there.  Didn’t i review the Q1b a few months ago?  Why is it taking larger sites so long to catch on?

This leads me to ask about a possible paradigm shift in UMPCs.  Where is the UMPC as a computer?  Vista is out, in fact two of my roomates purchased new desktops just to fully utilize Vista.  Now with the current UMPC’s there isn’t a clear cut upgrade.  The new McCaselin models coming out should support the OS, but does that mean that those of us who were early adoptors are outta luck?  I’ve got a machine made for XP, purchased it about 4 months before Vista came out…  I can run Vista on it, but marginally at best.  Do i upgrade it as much as i can and hope Vista will improve, or suck it up and go back to XP?

What’s this new driver do?

Monday, April 16th, 2007

So this morning Steve from UMPC Portal pointed me to some new drivers from VIA for the Q1b.  After a bit of time I got the drivers installed.  Long story short, I can’t tell what they do?  I think this goes back to something Dennis had said a few weeks back.  So we’re trying this new OS, we’re having troubles, how is driver Y from company x, fixing anything?

New Blog!

Thursday, April 5th, 2007

I can’t believe I didn’t mention this earlier! Last week I made the decision to start a new blog. The reasoning was simple: I’d like to keep this one more professional and technical, and i’ll let the new one be for everything else. It’s over at http://www.fleeingthesocialscene.com

Upgrades in the works

Thursday, April 5th, 2007

So i’ve been a bit quiet around here lately.  Everything’s same old, same old.  That’s about to change soon.  Tonight i’m ordering the 1GB RAM upgrade for my Q1b.  Hopefully I can get a bit of news back to everyone on how that helps out in Vista.  Stay tuned!
