oqo: Passport sized PC
I’d love to check one of these out. An OQO handheld computer. Bowen has been looking for something like this for a long time. Are you watching Bowen? Anyways I’m not endorsing this yet, I wonder what Engadget or Gizmodo have to say about it…
This team just raised a $20 million dollar series D on the promise of demand for these little computers. Specifically called out is demand in government agencies.
Some partial specs:
- 1GHz processor
- 30GB hard drive
- 512MB of RAM
- Color transflective display
- Integrated wireless (Wifi and Bluetooth)
- FireWire port
- USB port
At 4.9 inches long, 3.4 inches wide, 0.9 inches thin, and weighing only 14 ounces it’s pretty small. Think “fat” passport.
