LisaG posted third day of her life with Samsung Q1 : Games, Music and Movies .
You will use this information later, so read it:
How about battery life? The Q1 made it through a 2 hour movie with juice to spare. That movie was on a CF card, so the hard drive presumably wasn’t spinning much and using lots of power. Brightness (you can control brightness even in AVS NOW mode using the Q1’s menu button) was set to 50%. Temps were reasonable, the device was warm but still comfortable to hold.
While video playback, MP3 music and photo slide shows aren’t anything uncommon for Windows machines; doing all this without booting Windows is a special treat. While it takes over 60 seconds to boot Windows XP, if you slide the power switch to the left rather than right when turning the tablet on, you’ll launch AVS NOW, which does all the great stuff I just described but you only have to wait 20 seconds for AVS to boot.
Wow! Weren’t they advertising AVS as “instant-on” multimedia?
