Unboxing the Samsung Q1 UMPC - too exciting and new for pics yet
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Handhelds, PC
R. Wildman over at UMPC Weekly got his hands on a new Samsung Q1 UMPC. No pics yet, but he describes his Unboxing experience:
Let’s talk briefly about the “unboxing”. This is apparently a big thing to some. To be honest, as I began the unboxing, I was overwhelmed. I must say that Samsung did an amazing job in packaging this system. The packaging is gorgeous! Heck, the box weighs more than the actual computer! I plan to post some pictures of the unboxing. Look for them in the next day or so. I would have posted them tonight, but as you will see, I have been busy.
Looking forward to the pics!
Kevin Tofel over at jkontherun is expecting delivery of his Q1 tomorrow. I’m sure we’ll be treated to photos and maybe even video of his Unboxing Ceremony, in true Kevin style.

Just wanted to point out the Unboxing group and photo pool on Flickr. Now that this site has taken off (and boy, has it! traffic has been amazing - far beyond my expectations! ), people are starting to submit their stuff to the group.
Just today, we’ve got photos of the Unboxing Ceremonies of an iPod HiFi, Nintendo DS, Motorola Q Smartphone, and a shiny new white MacBook. Thanks to everyone who has contributed!
The little Flickr badge in the sidebar will always rotate through the latest pics in the group pool. You can join the group, or subscribe to the group’s photo feed. Just one more way to fulfill your Unboxing wants and needs.
Lucky Engadget Mobile reader Andy Pargh got his hands on the new Treo 700p (PalmOS version) from Verizon, and hooked them up with the Unboxing pics:
Check out the article for a ton more pics. Probably not all that different from the already-released Treo 700w (Windows Mobile version), but still great pics, and an awesome device.
Photos: Motorola Q Smartphone on Verizon (Updated)

Going to be a lot of these coming, as the Q gets released to the general public on May 31.
And EngadgetMobile has some Unboxing Ceremony pics of the Q, too, presumably from the same event (again, lots more pics at the link)
I’m very tempted to replace my Verizon Samsung i730 Windows Mobile phone with the Q - there’s no doubt it’s a very sexy device.
EDIT 1: Fellow gadget geek Matt “palmsolo” Miller came through with some more unboxing pics of the Q - check out the whole set on Flickr (13 photos).
Matt wrote the nice reviewers guide that Verizon is apparently going to be shipping out with review units to press, etc. He’s also got a write up of the Q “in the lab” over at Geek.com. (Update: here’s a link to Matt’s great review of the Q over at geek.com.)
I’ll likely be updating this post as more Unboxing Ceremony shot of the Q emerge, to stay tuned, or better yet, subscribe to the Unboxing.com feed.

I’m proud to announce Unboxing.com - a site I created dedicated to sharing the “Unboxing Ceremony” that most geeks go through when we get a new piece of gear.
I’ve had this little side project on the back burner for a while. I’ve been tweaking it, and basically waiting for the right time to start getting people to visit. It’s set up how I like it, so it’s time for the wraps to come off. It’s mostly for fun, though you’ll see some Google AdSense on it (hey, anything that helps pay for hosting, and a new gadget once in a while).
I’m not going to stop blogging at TinyScreenfuls - I just thought it would be cool to create a site that focuses on cool unboxing experiences. A one-stop-shop for New Gadget Pr0n, if you will. 
I know for a fact there’s demand for it - the video of my PSP Unboxing Ceremony is always one of the most popular pages on this site, and I’ve received emails (and even phone calls!) from people telling me that they enjoyed it, and begging for more unboxing videos.
Some of the Unboxing Ceremonies are my own, some are friends’, and some I just ran across on the web via super secret sophisticated wiretap automated delivery methods (oh, alright, I have a bunch of search feeds). There’s also an Unboxing Flickr Group I created - feel free to join and share your photos there.
Let me know if you have something (now or in the future) that you’d like posted - preferential treatment will be given to Friends of TinyScreenfuls. You could see your name in lights! Or something.
A lot of the content is Apple-centric right now, but that’s not on purpose. It just seems that Apple geeks are a lot more prone to taking photos of their new toys, and posting them on the web. That, and Apple has been on fire lately, releasing hardware that makes your geeky parts feel tingly. But, I’ll post anything I find that’s geeky and cool and has that new gadget smell.
Check it out, and subscribe to the site feed. And if you don’t mind, tell some friends about it. And teach them how to subscribe to the feed, since updates will probably be sporadic, and feeds are the best way to keep up with stuff like this, anyway. Think of it as a great opportunity to teach someone about RSS and syndication!
Last but not least, let me know what you think. Like I said, this is just a little side project that I thought would be fun. If you can think of ways to make it better, I’m all ears!
Tomi B. shares photos of the Unboxing Ceremony for the new TabletKiosk eo UMPC/Origami minitablet device:
Check out the Flickr set, and the blog post full of first impressions.
Thanks for sharing!
Was happy to read this morning that Julie Leung received her new MacBook yesterday.
Wicked, false, tricksy thieves broke into their vehicle and stole her Powerbook while they were on vacation a while ago (here’s a link to her Unboxing Ceremony of that machine). Julie, glad to see you re-horsed with a shiny new MacBook.
Now, how’s about some more photos?
Announced just this morning, and already people are getting their hands on them at Apple stores. Now THAT’s how to do a product launch! Here are some photosets from around the web of people unboxing their new MacBook treasure.
The new “lapzilla” - the 17” MacBook Pro - is starting to land in people hands. Here’s the first Unboxing Ceremony photos that I spied, from Flickr user EricMB
The MacBook Pro Unpacking - a photoset on Flickr
TinyScreenfuls pal Nathan, a big Mac fan, has taken some great photos of the Unboxing Ceremony of his new Mac Book Pro, along with some, *ahem*, interesting photo captions.
Check them out!
