PDA and Subnotebook Killer?

Purdah writes "I found this site with a description of a new type of palm sixed PC. It runs windows and would be great for mobile uses like music and movies (says it can store 3 movies). Extracts below are from the official website: complete Windows XP wireless handheld computer, cradle to dock with a keyboard and monitor, transforming the OQO to a full feature desktop machine, media player mode with enough memory for 1000 songs or three feature length movies, optimization for cool running and miserly power consumption" Looks a little vaporous to me, as well as thick. But there's an awful lot of potential if they get it right.

Looks a little vaporous to me, as well as thick

Well ignoring the first part, lets get some perspective on this:

The OQO is:

• 0.1" higher than the 10 gig iPod
• 0.5" wider than the 10 gig iPod
• 0.06" thicker than the 10 gig iPod

A little thick ? Christ, you have a 256 meg product with a 10 gig HD running up to 1 gigahertz and you're a little worried about it being a paltry 0.15cm wider than an iPod!!??

My only concern is the battery life? What do you reckon? 45 minutes tops?

And of course the insane price this will be.
