Unreleased OQO 2+ OLED Version Sells For $6,500

Posted by timothy on from the no-no-you're-supposed-to-haggle dept.

psych787 writes "OQO's product line — much loved by their community at oqotalk — has recently suffered a slow, agonizing death. After dropping warranty repairs, not returning several units sent in, disconnecting phonelines, and leaving trash at their headquarters, a couple of units have survived and found eBay. The last one went for $4.5k. Now the only PC for sale to include an OLED has gone for $6.5k. At that price, perhaps a competitor bought the device to come up with something that meets the same market?"

    I'm sure they're just dying to get into that huge market that OQO failed to make any money in.

    You must work for NASA - this is metric money, not imperial. Got to be careful with those conversions, you never know when one might accidentally cause a probe to slam into Mars at high speed.
