Plus, now there's a 32GB flash-based option. They've also slightly upped the CPU speed to 1. But it has yet to solved the in-between nature of its concept. It's still either clunky yet powerful PDA or an awkwardly sized laptop. He did say that the company has sold "thousands per month" and that the second quarter of this year saw more sales than all of , as did the third quarter.
They need to make it a little more obvious that you're supposed to being using a Bluetooth cell phone with this thing for Internet access on the go. Battery life seems like it's on the low side - 3 hours just isn't all that long anymore. If the corporate executive is using this thing, chances are he has some confidential info on it. An OQO seems easy to steal - is there any built-in encryption support?
So, cool idea, but a little too expensive. I could see this becoming something of a status symbol in the corporate world, though. Well, take a look at THIS! Re:Hmm Score: 3 , Informative. Re:Hmm Score: 1. My ideas for a mobile device are probably quite a few years away, but I think these features would be really cool: 1.
Hologrpahic Keyboard: This way you could get the full sized keyboard and have it anywhere you wanted. Built In Projector: This way the mobile device would be great for on the go presentations, and the projector could also function as a larger screen. Re:Hmm Score: 2. Well, your "holographic" keyboard is basically a reality right now. Canesta [canesta. It is compact enough to be built into existing PDAs. The specs are very good for a PC that is about the size of a pack of 3"x5" cards, just under 1" thick.
OQO seems easy to steal - is there any built-in encryption support? The price MS tax? This is a recurrent but valid question. From the preview [handtops. Re:MS tax? Score: 3 , Interesting. I saw a guide on what to do somewhere, I can't remember off the top of my head where though - try google.
So, really, this is an issue to settle with OQO themselves. Ask before you buy. And if you don't like their answer, don't buy. Wikipedia stub Score: 3 , Informative. The Wikipedia article [wikipedia. Calling all knowledgeable nerds. Re:Wikipedia stub Score: 2. Hmmm, seems pretty accurate to me. What do you consider missing? Re:Wikipedia stub Score: 1. The article consists of four general sentences. Nothing is inaccurate as far as I can tell; it's just lean on details in a "where's the beef?
I myself don't have anything useful to add to the article. Hence the cry for help. I heard it ships with Duke Nukem installed Score: 3 , Funny. Kills two vaporwares with one product release! Quite cool. I played with an OQO at Foo camp. It is the real deal. The display is impressively clear in both low light and direct sunlight. As a whole, the produce is very well engineered and the UI felt relatively snappy.
It does run Linux and uses the same hard drive internally as an iPod. Battery life is fairly decent, given computing power, and the battery is designed such that you can upgrade to a higher capacity battery that is simply thicker than the original making the entire unit thicker. The screen is also touch sensitive and there is a stylus slot in the top of the unit.
The keyboard certainly does not have the feel of a full sized board, but is surprisingly usable for the size. One of the neatest features is the "docking cable". Basically, OQO will provide a cable that has all of the various different ports -- usb, firewire, video, etc The unit has a cradle that you can leave on your desk. It has VGA out. Certainly not a primary machine for gamers or developers, but a damned nice little device for folks that want a portable computing device that offers a more real computing experience than a palm device, blackberry, or the like.
Those grumbling about the price will get a laptop from Averatec for about half the price. Re:zerg Score: 1. Or a AMD! That's great but I didn't see anything like that in the video, either. Any ideas? Re:transflective backlight Score: 2 , Informative.
Well, looking at the word "transflective" I can only guess that it's a mixture of "reflective" and "transmissive", meaning that it relfects some light in order to illuminate the display, but has a backlight to boost the output.
As far as I understand, all transflective screens have backlights. How else would you see them in the dark?
I'm torn, because it doesn't stand a chance Lets be realistic. This thing is really cool, and I'd love to have one. I suspect most others will react the same way, with a "cool, but It might become my favourite travelling toy. As it is, I'd rather have a Blackberry or Palm for those times I leave my real machine. Re:I'm torn, because it doesn't stand a chance Watch out! I almost placed an order with these guys 2 years ago!!! I was a huge transmetta buff and wanted a small laptop.
They wanted to happily take my deposit, and ship me the unit when it came out in the fall of ! Anyways, I didn't bite. Oqo vs. Zaurus and Starcraft on the John Score: 2. I dunno. It will even run X-windows apps with a little work and recompilation. It's unlikely. I suppose if you're tied to proprietary apps, or just want to compile x86 code while sitting on the airplane toilet, the Oqo is a fine choice. Windows users tied to. Re:Oqo vs.
Then you can have mine, if you wish. The Zaurus is the most expensive completely useless toy I ever bought. It still doesn't really run. The o. Price vs. Capabilities Score: 1. Of course everyone wants it all for cheaper, but there are a few things to consider here. This is supposed to replace a laptop and a pda for an executive. This is not a primary machine for someone who is coding or gaming. Email, Word, Excel, Web browsing, etc. These are the target apps, so the specs speak to that.
This is a new class of device. This is Rev. A hardware. How long bef. Re:Price vs. Windows does nothing for me The story goes that the company's founders used to be associated with Apple's laptop department. What really gets me is that the Transmeta chip can emulate other processors but they've never written the code. If only they'd code it to emulate a PowerPC chip I'll bet that given the consolidation we've seen in the PDA market and the "lack" of support in Garnet PalmOS 6 for the Mac platform yeah yeah Missing Sync yada yada yada , Ol' Stevie is kicking himself for sending these guys out-o.
