New Samsung ultra-mobile portable PC with a fingerprint sensor

AuthenTec's AES1610 fingerprint sensor will be used in Samsung's new Q1 Ultra model ultra-mobile PC for consumers. Samsung’s Q1 Ultra combines extreme portability, rich multimedia versatility, advanced connectivity and the full power of a Windows Vista-enabled desktop PC, and is the first Samsung UMPC to offer AuthenTec’s Power of Touch to “on-the-go” users.

AuthenTec’s award-winning AES1610 combines security, convenience and personalization into the smallest form factor used in PCs today. The sensor’s “Always-On Authentication” feature greatly reduces the risk of compromised data in the event the UMPC is lost, stolen or left unattended.

UMPCs such as Samsung’s Q1 Ultra are easily portable devices that provide all the capabilities of a PC, but in a much smaller form factor to improve anytime, anywhere access. With the launch of the Q1 Ultra, Samsung will extend the power and functionality of their ultra-mobile line by offering a rich feature set that enables superior connectivity and multimedia opportunities.

From a non security point of view, the device has a sleek and ergonomic design, the Q1 Ultra weighs just 1.7 pounds and features a crisp, seven-inch display (1024 x 600 pixels), a 60GB hard drive, 1.3 megapixel primary camera, a second 0.3 megapixel web camera, and Bluetooth 2.0. The Q1 Ultra contains a full keyboard and touch screen, yet can also be used with an external keyboard for desktop use, and runs on an Intel processor and includes 1GB of DDR2 memory. The device offers a range of network connectivity options including built-in 802.11a/b/g, HSDPA, and WiBro.

Nokia's N-Gage coming to PCs

When you hear the word N-Gage, you probably get weird, grossed-out feelings and maybe a little stabbing pain in your side, right?

Well, Nokia is attempting to make the transition from the N-Gage as a handheld gaming device (and a bit of a failed one at that), to N-Gage as a standalone game platform -- one which can be implemented on the PC as well as other mobile systems.

The company is currently in the thick of development on a top-secret title known as "Project White Rock", which will be the first bound for the PC.

The game is being developed by RedLynx (creators of popular handheld fare like "Pathways to Glory"), and produced by Scott Foe, who's known for his work on the first mobile MMOG "Pocket Kingdom: Own the World".

According to reports, the game contains over a thousand lines of recorded dialogue, though sources say the game-play experience will be largely the same on both the PC and handheld platforms.

Whatever the case may be, the few glimpses we've seen of the "next generation" N-Gage look pretty promising, and this scheme may just be the shot in the arm Nokia's gaming division is looking for.
