OQO Price And Release Date Set

Posted by timothy on from the transflective-hifi-jumprope dept.

captainJam writes "After more than 2 years of development, the OQO is finally set to be released in October for a price tag of $1899. Initially the unit will only be sold through OQO's website. Those grumbling about the price should take into consideration that the OQO is by far the smallest and lightest XP capable handtop with a touchscreen, slide-out keyboard and Transflective display."

    I guess someone has to pay the bills. Everyone absent-mindedly refreshing the homepage to get frist psot must not generate as much revenue as it used to.

    Those grumbling about the price... are sane.

    It doesn't run TPC Edition: it doesn't have an active digitizer, so MS won't sell it to them (avoids "Ohnoes, i have to lift my hand when i write", i guess). IIRC, it was supposed to ship with XP Home.
