In the article it says

"This is a full Windows XP computer that fits in your pocket," said Colin Hunter, executive vice president of OQO, Tuesday. "Desktops are pretty much dead. Most people would prefer to have a computer they can carry around with them all the time."

Right....desktops are pretty much dead. I'll just play games and browse this site on a 3 inch screen. Let's think about this one

The article also mentions the machine's capability to plug into a real keyboard, mouse, display, and whatever else. I certainly wouldn't mind something this portable and functional.

I didn't notice the part about the montior. I still think the desktop is FAR from dead. Currnent top of the line video cards are double the size of that whole thing

Yep, until they can cram the latest hardware into a portable PC and still maintain some decent battery life, I'll stick with my desktop.

<< OQO is negotiating with electronics companies who could manufacture and market the device. A version manufactured and sold under the OQO brand is also possible, a spokesman said. >>

I like this little computer. I like the fact that it is portable, fast and runs Windows XP. It's the best things about a laptop and a pocket PC in one. I wonder how you are supposed to input data without a keyboard hooked up - a stylus maybe? If the cost is right I might consider picking one up instead of a pocket PC at the end of the year. It will make a good graduation gift to myself at the end of the year.
