Two interesting BIOS updates have recently appeared for Origami specified UMPCs. One for the Samsung Q1 and one for the Asus R2H:

• Rory left a comment on our last post indicating that a UK Samsung site has a Q1 BIOS upgrade designated 20MA.
• Ctitanic gets a double-shoutout today for finding the Asus R2H upgrade of BIOS version 206.

I’m holding off on the Q1 BIOS ugprade simply because there’s no information on what BIOS upgrade actually does and I tend not to mess with BIOS in a case like that. Additionally, I like a dual-boot option on my Q1 (XP and Vista) and I don’t know the impact of the BIOS changes. Let’s keep our eyes and ears open for the brave souls that try it; although I expect we’ll need more drivers and apps to follow for full support.
