PDA and Subnotebook Killer?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the see,-size-does-matter dept.

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 have one of these, and it just sucks. I would get a compaq. Compaqs are faster, and lighter, and they aren't made in ARABIA by fucking airplane crashers.

    I agree with this article totally. This will definitely take over the PDA and subnotebook market. Now if they can only get it to work with Linux, preferably with an Apache webserver and Mozilla, it will be perfect.

    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.
