Engadget writes about new OQO model, which, depending on how you look at it, might be considered a worthy 770 competitor (except, of course, the price). For a mere $1,899 you can be a proud owner of the device with:
1GHz processor , 30GB hard drive (shock-mounted), 512MB RAM, 4.9″ x 3.4″ x .9″ dimensions, 14 ounces, 800 x 480 W-VGA 5″ display (indoor/outdoor readable), 3D accelerated graphics with 8MB video RAM, QWERTY thumb keyboard with mouse buttons and TrackStik, WiFi, Bluetooth, USB 2.0, FireWire (1394), 3.5mm stereo headphone jack, Microphone, Pen-based digitizer
NEW support for screen rotation, NEW support for network boot (PXE), Removable lithium polymer battery, Battery life up to three hours, depending on usage
NEW universal power supply with auto and air adapter, Desktop stand, Digital pen, Carrying sleeve, Docking cable with following ports: 3D accelerated 1280 x 1024 VGA video output, Additional USB 2.0, Additional FireWire (1394) , Ethernet (100/10) , DC power , Audio out
Perhaps I agree with Mike Masnick of TechDirt, who compares all the hype surrounding OQO, and says that at $1899 price sticker it’s more likely to cause a yawn than excitement.
You completely miss the point of the oqo. These devices (oqo and 770) are not even remotely comparable. The oqo costs a lot more, of course, because it’s a full windows pc! You can run any windows app. you want. I can’t understand why so many so called technophiles can’t seem to grasp that point. Load DragonNaturally speaking and you can surf, type etc., via voice (get it?). You can’t do that on a stupid webpad can you?
