For the last few months I’ve been thinking about buying a PDA, and I think I just found exactly what I’m looking for. It’s called OQO. It’s made by the team that designed Apple’s Titanium PowerBook, who left to form their own company. Their first product is what they’re calling an Ultra-Personal Computer: an iPaq sized, fully-featured Windows XP PC with a 1GHz Transmeta processor, 10GB hard drive, 256 MB of RAM, and a four inch, color touchscreen, Firewire and USB ports, and built-in 802.11b and Bluetooth. All of this in less than 9 ounces.
The OQO should be available sometime later this year. I’m curious to find out how much they’re going to cost, as I’d much prefer one of these over a Pocket PC (which seem overpriced when you think about it), or even a PDA running the Palm OS.
