The OQO model 01+, like its predecessor, is a story of compromises. This one is slightly more usable and flexible, admittedly, but the bigger considerations still remain. It’s great that the USB. The OQO packs a lot of capabilities into a tiny package. The screen, thankfully, takes up the majority of the square footage, and the casing. To your laptop or PDA, the OQO Model 01+ shines. The OQO model 01+ ultra personal computer (uPC) is a fully featured Windows XP computer Just 4.9 inches long, 3.4 inches wide, 0.9 inches thin, and weighing only 14 ounces, the model 01+ can fit in a pocket For easy typing and cursor control it has a complete thumb keyboard Connect to wireless networks with built-in WiFi and Bluetooth. OQO was co-founded in 2000 by Jory Bell (CEO) and Jonathan Betts-LaCroix (CTO). Bell had previously worked in the Product Design arena at Apple Computer, as well as at IBM’s Almaden Research Centre. The OQO isn't much larger than the HTC Advantage Windows Mobile PDA phone, a device that attempts to replace your notebook but doesn't run full Windows. You won't mistake the OQO for a Palm or iPAQ, but it's significantly smaller than the Samsung Q1 Ultra and somewhat smaller than the Sony Vaio UX380N and Fujitsu U810.
