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.

    I don't have flash installed on my laptop (RH 7.3 ultra-modified with KDE 3.0 and Mosftet High Performance Liquid w/ QT 3), and I'm using mozilla 1.1. I had no trouble at all viewing the site. I have flash installed on my Linux desktop at home where I also run Mozilla 1.1 and the same modified RedHat, and there the flash works fine.

    So IMHO your post is either flamebait, or troll, or both.
