OQO – Computer Fits In Pocket

Just about half month after I post about Sony’s The world’s smallest Windows PC, now OQO win the first place!

OQO?! Never heard before right? Me too! :P

Anyway, this newly born company has a great product – OQO Model 01 ultra Personal Computer(uPC).

From OQO: “The OQO Model 01 ultra personal computer (uPC) is a fully-functional Windows XP computer. The OQO has a 1GHz processor, a 20GB hard drive, 256MB of RAM, a color transflective display, and integrated wireless, as well as Fire Wire and USB ports. It is powerful enough to run your most complex applications…”

Here is the specs(copied from OQO site):

• 1GHz Transmeta processor
• 20GB hard drive (shock-mounted)
• 256MB DDR RAM
• Dimensions: 4.9″ x 3.4″ x .9″
• Weight: 14 ozs
• 800 x 480 W-VGA 5″ transflective display (indoor/outdoor readable)
• QWERTY thumb keyboard with mouse buttons and TrackStik®
• 802.11b wireless
• Bluetooth® wireless
• 4-pin FireWire® (1394)
• USB 1.1
• 3.5mm stereo headphone jack (supports stereo headphone or mono headset plus optional multimedia controller)
• Microphone
• Digital pen
• Removable lithium polymer battery
• Battery life 2-6 hours, depending on usage
• OQO docking cable includes:

• 3D accelerated 1280 x 1024 VGA video output
• Additional USB
• Additional FireWire (1394)
• Ethernet
• DC power
• Audio out

The OQO Model 01 is almost same as Sony’s VAIO U70, except that OQO… :
– is slightly smaller,
– attached thumb keyboard,
– has less memory(U70 with 512MB),
– has a dock station(can connect to monitor and attach normal size mouse & keyboard and become normal PC!)
– has FireWire
– has dull design

Thought:
Personally, I think OQO is better. If possible, I will get OQO instead of Sony VAIO U70. Dump PDA and get this one! 2-in-1! :D

Anyway, it will only ships on fall of 2004(coming soon).
