There was OQO, then now there is UX

I mentioned OQO in late 2004. You can read the entry, but it is not much to be said in there. I re-visited that site, and apparently it has improved with cool features, such as handwriting on the mini computer, such as notetaking, joting on “sticky” pads”, and writing in email. I think it is really cool! I beleive it works only on Windows XP Tablet Edition.

However, the OQO costs starting from $1,899.00. It is pretty expensive.

The OQO tech specification:

  • 1 GHz processor
  • 30GB HD
  • 512MB RAM
  • Wi-Fi®, Bluetooth®
  • USB 2.0, FireWire®
  • audio
  • thumb keyboard
  • 800×480 indoor/outdoor readable LCD (ships with: removable lithium polymer battery
  • docking cable
  • desktop stand
  • universal power supply
  • carrying sleeve
  • digital pen.)

Not only OQO that is the smallest computer, but there is also another smallest computer, similiar to OQO called Sony VAIO UX.

Nice…Now OQO has a completion. I don’t know which one I would choose, but UX seems cooler than OQO. The processor of UX is faster than OQO. OQO is 100 dollars more expensive than UX.  It is very competive.

The UX tech specification:

  • Intel® Core™ Solo Processor U1400 (1.20 GHz)1
  • Microsoft® Windows® XP Professional with Service Pack 2
  • Integrated Wireless Wide Area Network (WAN)132 accessing Cingular Wireless National EDGE Network with SmartWi™ technology
  • 512MB RAM and 30GB hard drive4
  • 4.5″5 Wide SVGA LCD, Touch Screen

It will cost $1799.00, and come out in July.
