The OQO "Ultra-Personal Computer" is pretty damn cool.

well even at this size using this as a phone wud be a pain

and it infact in the future computers become as small as today's sleekest phones they would be still too weird/uncomfortable to use

a phone shud be a diff device as it is now

Bluetooth headset, Nokia type form factor, multitasking OS.

I used this one at CES and I was really impressed with it. The rep told me it would debut in q2-3 and retail for ~$2000. That price would have to drop in at least half for me to consider buying but I think that this will be a growing market. There are so many uses. The home dock is what sold me. Very well designed.

No, this is significantly different.

They've been promising it for years, I'll believe it when I actually see it on sale.

Viper GTS

Same here, this things got vaporware of the year from /. last year I think, and again several years ago.

now imagine an office using just these and 15" LCD's. Quite the potential power savings. How long do you think it would take for this thing to pay off the difference in electricity costs between it and a regular desktop.

So what do you do with it that's so "Ultra-Personal"?
