UltraPersonal PC

oqo: hardware: basics

Website has an excellent promo video... I'd buy one...

The OQO ultra personal computer (uPC) is a fully-functional Windows XP PC small enough to fit in your pocket, yet powerful enough to replace your laptop. The OQO computer is the much-anticipated mobility solution for people who until now had to choose between the bulk and awkwardness of a laptop and the limited capability of a PDA.

The OQO computer has all the functionality of an ultraportable notebook computer, with a 1GHz processor, a 20GB hard drive, 256MB of RAM, color transflective display (for easy indoor and outdoor viewing), 802.11b wireless, a removable lithium-polymer battery, FireWire and USB 1.1 ports. For input and navigation it includes thumb keyboard with TrackStik%u2122 and mouse buttons as well as digital pen and thumbwheel.

The OQO computer is the most versatile computer to date. Standalone, it is as portable as a PDA. With the docking cable, it is no different than a laptop in its ability to connect to projectors and Ethernet networks. In the desktop stand with the docking cable, it is a desktop computer. As a Windows PC, the OQO computer moves seamlessly from one mode to the other with no synchronizing.

With an OQO computer you can move throughout your day and enjoy constant access to all your information and Windows applications. You can use the same computer for high-powered applications at work, sending email at home, listening to music on the subway, or watching a movie on an airplane. It is the only computer you need.
