Possibly the next BIG thing...
« on: April 22, 2004, 03:27:44 am »

If you haven't seen this already, check out this website:
http://www.oqo.com/hardware/video/

It's a very slick portable PC slightly bigger than current ipods/Zens but that would offer so much more. Go to their site and you'll understand.

Cool things:
- Very nice design comparable to Apple Titaniums
- big screen with fairly high res for the size
- Full Windows OS: any softs, music, videos will be playable
- tiny but practical keyboard
- docking station: fully operational pc

The only 2 downsides i see at this point:
- first models will be extremely expensive in my opinion (easily $1200+++)
- only 20gigs on first version, of which a good 2-3 gigs will be OS and softwares.
- doesn't come with 5.1 surround but this could be added through a usb 5.1 card connected to the docking station.

Anyway, add a camera and cell phone features and you'll have the most amazing handheld computer.

I know this wouldn't be powerfull enough to run most of the softwares I use, but as a gadget/ business oriented handheld, it will kick ass. Let's see what you guys think about it. I know I would really like to have one. What about you?

For anyone who watches "24," I think Saunders was using one of these in the most recent episode (the one that ran on 4/27)...

The thing is friggin COOL!!

There's a new one out now, with Wifi, more memory and disk space.

 :o

Still bloody expensive though!

Don't suppose anyone's had a chance to try one with MC running on it?
That would be the ultimate DAP.....
