MobileTechReview Reviews the OQO Model 01 Computer
Posted by Ekkie Tepsupornchai in "ARTICLE" @ 11:00 AM
"Make no mistake, the OQO model 01 is one of the most impressive technological feats of the decade. OQO spent five years developing this handheld computer, and likely it took every day to fit a PC into a device the size of a large PDA. The model 01, currently the only OQO model, runs Windows XP Home Edition rather than a PDA operating system, yet it will fit easily in a purse, brief case or roomy pocket. At 4.9 x 3.4 x .9 inches, the device isn't much larger than large Pocket PC and Palm models such as the Palm LifeDrive and HP iPAQ hx4700, though it is heavier at 14 ounces."
In case you've been living under a rock this past year, the OQO is a true PC, but with much smaller size dimensions that rival of some of today's PDAs. The device is definitely off-the-charts in terms of innovation and wow-factor, but the knock against it has been with its performance, ease-of-use compromises, and of course, the sky-high $2000 pricetag. If this device is at all a curiosity to you, jump on over to MobileTechReview and see what Tong finds when he takes it for a test drive.
