My impression of Samsung is that they are not innovators or designers, but rather manufacturering copycats. I had a Q1U UMPC and technically it was great, but to actually use it, what a piece of crap. From the distracting blinking lights up front, the glossy slippery case, the awful quality cameras, the dumb split keyboard, the terrible mouse controller.. what a dog. I don't think they put a lot of thought in their products, as if a real person might use one. Maybe they don't have a real industrial design or usability culture. I'm sorry if this is a gross generalization, but I haven't seen it disproven. Feature packed but not well designed.
