Where's The OQO?
Posted by Janak Parekh in "THE COMPETITION" @ 07:30 PM
OQO has a presence at CES this year, where they've unveiled a new press release predicting availability in the second half of 2004. They have also updated their website with new photos.
"OQO today announced its ultra personal computer (uPC), a breakthrough product that will usher the next wave of PC hardware by increasing mobility and flexibility for consumers and the enterprise. Slated to ship in the second half of 2004, the OQO computer weighs approximately 14 ounces, making it the smallest, high performance Windows XP computer with complete PC functionality. Measuring a mere 4.9 inches x 3.4 inches x 0.9 inches, the OQO computer is the size of a PDA with the power and features of a laptop."
Of course, the question is when we'll see it in stores. Gizmodo has written a brief rant on the subject, which I can't help but agree with:
"Well, OQO, it's time to throw down. No more press releases. No more vaporware. No more prototypes. Either produce a finished device that's ready to ship to stores, or just stop bothering everyone."
I'd like to see it happen; more computing solutions benefit the consumer. But I'll believe it when I see it.
