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."

    YES. According to early reports it should be able to run anything that has been ported to a Transmeta processor. Like, oh, Linux.

    According to this article, an OQO VP says the unit "will run whatever OS would run on a PC, so yeah, Linux should run just fine."

    The Wikipedia article needs some serious work. Calling all knowledgeable nerds.
