You might want to compare OQO to the asus eee which announced it will be shipping with WindowsXP next month. It is shipping with linux today. About $400 and very small. Video review at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=970nVbnIopk&feature=related (You might want to turn off your speakers because of the background music!!!) OQO and UMPC is a little dated... Good luck!
I have used it for the last few months. PM me if you have any questions on it. I would highly recommend based on use so far.
Can someone tells me how long the machine can run with HSDPA turned on? I am using a PDA-phone to remote control my computer at home with vnc. My PDA-phone has HSDPA module but I use GPRS instead as it consumes much less energy. With HSDPA it can last 1-2hr but can last 4-5hr with GPRS.
With the double capacity battery and broadband modem it can last about 4 hours give or take from what I've seen.
hey brock, how does Java-based programs run on it? pretty spiffy? I'm curious particularly with IB's TWS.
Yep. That's the primary reason I bought it. I can trade on TWS and run multiple web browsers, etc. with no problem. The hard drive can get a little slow with lots of I/O but if you just run TWS and minimal other apps you shouldn't have a problem. If you can justify the price to get the solid state drive I would recommend it. If not, the standard drive is decent.
Sure... if you have any other questions before deciding just pm me. I initially bought it just for out of town use but now I've taken to using it more around the house than I use my laptop.
