It's alive! (This holiday season) The OQO 01+ is what I like to call the original UMPC. This thing has been lingering around the consumer electronics world for well over a year. Finally, freaking finally, this device will be available at retail outlets. For those unaware, the 01+ is a small-form-factor computer that has a slide-out keyboard. It is powered by Windows XP Tablet Edition and includes a 30GB hard drive, 5-inch touchscreen, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, USB 2.0, 1.0 GHz processorand 512MB of ram.

RCS Experience in NYC will be carrying the OQO 01+. It carries a hefty price tag of ~~$1,700~~ $1,300. No matter what the reviewers say about the 01+, I will always love it. OQO 01+, will you marry me? – Travis Hudson

OQO 01+ Now Cheaper, Still Too Expensive

The OQO 01+ has received a nice price reduction of $200 according to MobileTechReview. So what does that make the final cost of this machine? $1,699, still way too much. The OQO 01+ is a small-form-factor PDA/UMPC thing that is powered by Windows XP. Good luck with the price drop, OQO. Travis Hudson

OQO 01+ Gets Upgrade, is Still Cat's Pajamas

The OQO 01+—or as I call it, the original Origami—has gotten a nice upgrade to compete with the fellow UMPCs that we saw at CEBIT. The 01+ now has the option of Windows XP Tablet Edition to accommodate the touchscreen better. Now the 01+ is available with Microsoft XP Tablet, Home and Pro editions. Trusted Reviews gave a good test to the upgraded 01+ and they describe the on-screen handwriting recognition pane as "fiddly." The small, 5-inch screen and 800x480 resolution could make working with multiple windows a little cramped, but oh well. Other upgrades include a larger, 30GB hard drive and finally, the addition of USB 2.0 support with this device.
