With all the Psystar-related drama going on in the OSx86 scene this week, it’s easy to overlook the fact that people are doing some pretty wild things with the community-led project — we’ve already seen OS X boot on a Sony Vaio UX, and now the crew at jkOnTheRun have managed to shoehorn it on to a Samsung Q1 Ultra Premium UMPC. The Q1’s 1.33GHz Core Solo and upgraded 2GB of RAM are enough to run Leopard smoothly, it seems — Apple sold Mac Minis with similar specs a while back, after all — and while not everything works exactly right, it appears the digitizer is recognized, allowing Ink to work. It’s not perfect, as there are some calibration issues, but it’s a fun little peek into what an OS X tablet might look like — minus the command button, of course.
