New "modular computer" by OQO. What do you think?

[LaBang]

OQO has released some sort of new digital device. What do you all think about it? Will it be successful?

Personally, I think that personal digital devices are the future and will be pervasive in a few years. But, I don't know if this will take off.

What do you think?

Looks really cool, but I wouldn't get it unless the price is $500 or less.

If it is, I'll have one pretty quick.

under $500? Dell has you people spoiled! even the top of the line palms cost over $400 right? and this is a lot more than a palm.

I think it's going to at 1000 to 1100 dollars.

We know that. I'm just saying that I would only pay $500 for one! (I may be dreaming 😉)

It's very cool.....hopefully competition (IBM should be coming out with one) will lower the price. 🙂
