Windows Phone Thoughts: PDAToday Looks at the OQO Model +01 Pocketable Computer

"First shown in January 2004 and released in October 2004, the OQO model 01 is an amazing piece of technology. With the recent release of the model 01+, the OQO has evolved into an even more useful device. Led by CEO Jory Bell (one of the primary designers of the Apple G3 and Titanium PowerBooks) and his team, OQO is at the forefront of handheld computing. The design of the model 01+ features many advanced technologies such as a custom, secondary CPU that emulates many of the large, bulky ICs and components in a standard computer so it can deliver its performance and capabilities in a micro-form-factor. Primarily focused on the Enterprise market, I expect OQO to bring the model 01+ and / or its technology to the mass-market in the future."



I haven't seen many reviews of the OQO Model +01 since its release late last year, so many of you may find this to be a very interesting read. I recall the initial OQO release was met with a great deal of disappointment, but PDAToday had the luxury of giving OQO's second generation device a spin and actually came away very impressed. So does this device warrant its $2k pricetag? Be sure to take a look and judge for yourself!
