Handheld Computing, revisited



The OQO Model 2 looks like a strong entry in the UMPC marketplace, weighing in at about a pound and including built-in mobile broadband capabilities. The tech specs are impressive: 1.5GHz CPU, 60 GB HDD, 1 GB RAM, 5" sliding WVGA LCD Screen, integrated thumb keyboard and track stick, and capacitive TouchScrollers (whatever those are). The model 02 is also Windows Vista ready and comes with a docking station which includes an optical drive.

Pretty cool, but it still looks like it has that "overgrown Blackberry" feel to it.
