New OQO Model 01 Review
There is a new review for OQO model 01 Handheld Windows Computer from Mobile Tech Review :
“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. For those who must have full blown Windows on the go in a tiny package, the nearly $2,000 OQO might prove indispensable. Since Windows XP wasn’t designed for use in such a small format, usability does suffer, and we’ll talk more about that later. ”
The conclusion of this OQO 01 review:
A marvel of technology and for now, unique. The Sony Vaio U750 is the only thing that came close and it’s both larger and on its way out. Windows XP in the palm of your hand and in your pocket just can’t be beat if you’re a road warrior with serious computing needs. Anything you can do with a Windows notebook, you can do with the OQO model 01 , albeit more slowly when it comes to input, navigation and computing speed. It has enough ports to use common popular peripherals and can be docked using the included cable when at the office.
