the OQO is fucking beautiful. OS X is fucking beautiful. the two of them together is the gadget equivalent of 3 bisexual nymphos gently......banhammer will probably sack me if i say anything further.

Could have simply been a video recorded and edited on a computer, and then played full screen on the device as to trick the public for publicity. ;)

i may have just creamed my pants a little. the OQO is a beautiful little piece of equipment, and now with the pure sexy that is leopard, it can't lose. well, if it can actually stay running long enough without overheating. nonetheless, bravo.

I would say the iPod Touch is the smallest Mac in the world. Not quitee as powerful as an OQO, but quite useful.

@Gizmometer: That was actually my first thought upon reading this and checking up on the hardware. Kudos for noticing! I wonder if the Apple developers are just going to sit back and watch the community do all the work from now on. UMPC MacBook?

Gizmodo missed the most important thing about this hackintosh success: The OQO 02 is the first machine running Leopard with a Via C7M, which means it should be possible to install Leopard on the HP Mini-Note.

While the startup time is pretty damn long, it doesn't seem to be so bad once it's up and running. With Wifi and other things being operable, this sounds like a kickass little mod.

@imTheKing: Indeed.

@phi

My OQO 02 sounds just like that running XP - AVG starts downloading updates and you think the thing will take off...just loading Pandora in Firefox or watching a video on YouTube will get you the same amount of fan spin. I would take fan noise on OS X over no fan noise on XP any day!

camcorder (or digital camera using video mode) needed to be put in macro mode to better focus up close.

Other than that, I say kudos to whoever made the hack. That's pretty cool.

Does the OQO screen work in direct sunlight well?

It's pretty obvious we all want a sub-notebook Mac. C'mon Apple.... make it official someday.

I don't think there's true power management, otherwise, the fan wouldn't be blowing constantly. nice hack but I'm running the same hack on a vaio and power management is basically the ability to tell me how much battery life there is left.

he sounds like a pilot the way he says "and we will remain on the gray screen for some time." Oh BTW, is that background noise from the fan of the OQO?

@howdytex: From the looks of it, that camcorder simply can't focus in so close to the subject. At first I thought it was a digital camera being used to record video, which has that same limitation.

so, that means I can officially dump macosonoqo.com? Well, it's been down for a while, but the suckers from the hosting company still keep trying to charge me and wont react to my attempts to cancel it.

"Smallest Mac in the World?"

No, but it's the small hacked PC to run OS X.

Personally, I love Vista on OQO.

Cracks me up. They figured out how to put OS X on the OQO but they can't fsck'in figure out how to focus a camcorder... But that is pretty cool though.
