OQO Ultra-Portable Impresses At CES

Posted by simoniker on from the oh-the-anticipation dept.

carpoolio writes "One of the most-talked about gadgets at CES last week was the OQO ultra personal computer (uPC). TechTV gave it a Best Mobile Device award, and deservedly so. It's a fully functional PC that fits in your pocket. Running on a 1 GHz Transmeta Crusoe processor, the uPC packs a 20 GB hard drive, 256 MB of RAM, and has a color screen that slides up to reveal the keyboard. The price? Sub-$2,000. Photos available on OQO's Web site. Similar devices have come and gone in recent years, but this one really looks nice." OQO seems to be slowly migrating from vaporware to a release date - a CNET News article notes that "OQO said Thursday that it will begin selling the device in the second half of 2004."

    I'd say out of every 10 articles posted on slashdot that I am able to view maybe 1/2 of those articles while the rest just suffer from the /. effect. I feel bad for the websites and no I am not paying money just to see the article early before the site gets dropped to it's knees.
