i don't know, but you got almost everything that this thing has in a little palmtop or pda .... connectivity and maybe the storage amount is an argument, but it doesn't come close to the functionality and power that a laptop/powerbook has. i might be wrong though - anyhuh, i wouldn't like to try to type on that keyboard or look at the lcd for longer than a few minutes. it is a nice thought though, it will be interesting to see if they found a nitsch (spelling¿) between laptop and pda - i doubt they'll be that revolutionary successfull though ^_^ On Jun 3, 2004, at 7:38 PM, khyber courchesne wrote: > I know I mentioned this before, but just had time to check the > company's > website, and its quite interesting. > > http://www.oqo.com/hardware/photos/photo03.html > http://www.oqo.com/hardware/video/ > > That thing is sweet.
