Samsung Q1 PowerBank unveiled

Mark Polino has decided to name his Samsung Q1 UMPC “Binky” and has just received the Samsung PowerBank, an external extended battery pack for the Q1.  The PowerBank does not attach like a normal extended battery, rather it is a separate battery pack like the Battery Extender that Kevin uses with his Q1.  According to Mark the PowerBank weighs in at 1.2 pounds and uses the same LED indicator system found on the Q1 unit, and when connected to the Q1 and an external power source the PowerBank charges the internal battery first and then the PowerBank.  Hopefully we’ll get some battery life benchmarks from Mark when he has time to play with it a while.  He has posted a number of photos of the PowerBank with the Q1 for size comparison on his website.  Here’s one photo to show what the PowerBank looks like, as the online retailers do not show images yet.  Mark didn’t mention how much he paid for the PowerBank but it is listed on the CDW web site for $240.
