First a Samsung veep couldn&#8217;t get passed the second page of the Powerpoint presentation on his Q1, then the device&#8217;s battery gave up the ghost after only minutes of operation (it&#8217;s rated at 2-3 hours). Then the President of MS Korea couldn&#8217;t even launch Powerpoint on his unit, and once he did, it failed him so badly he had to cut his presentation short. <\/p>\n<p> But wait, there&#8217;s more! Then the CEO of Intel Korea whipped out his Origami, to save the demo, but had similar problems, as he and nervous underlings struggled to rope-start his presentation. <\/p>\n<p> The Samsung Q1 will go on sale next month in Korea and will set you back US$1200, ya know, if you don&#8217;t factor in the cost of downtime, crashes, and calling other people in to help you troubleshoot countless software glitches. <\/p>\n<p> [Via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vnunet.com\" target=\"new\">vnunet<\/a>]<\/p>\n<p> <i>Thanks, Jay!<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Making fun of botched Microsoft demos is like shooting fish in a barrel.
