Windows Phone Thoughts: OQO model 02 Unveiled

"Bill Gates today showcased OQO’s next generation ultra-mobile PC, the model 02, in his keynote address at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Weighing a mere one pound and small enough to fit in a pocket, the model 02 is the world’s smallest Windows Vista capable computer. The model 02 is up to four times faster and has a display more than six times brighter than its groundbreaking predecessor, the model 01+. Redesigned from the ground up, the model 02 features a new ergonomic backlit keyboard and capacitive TouchScrollers™ for easy input and navigation. The model 02 incorporates complete wireless connectivity – including EV-DO Wireless WAN, WiFi, and Bluetooth – ensuring the user has high speed and uncompromised access to the internet, email, and networked applications."



Time flies, eh? The next version of OQO's ultra-mobile PC has been announced and it's not a bad bit of booty with a 1.5GHz CPU, 1GB RAM, 60GB HDD, a 5" 800 x 480 display, 802.11a/b/g Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR, EV-DO (optional), and your standard set of I/O ports. And for the icing on the cake, it's Windows Vista-ready, though don't expect it to score highly on the Windows Experience Index. Any of you interested in picking one up?
