Ken Hinckley, of Microsoft Research, has been working on a dual-touchscreen multi-tasking prototype called Codex, taking two of OQO’s Model 2 UMPCs and using intelligent software to manage how information is spread between the displays. Rather than manually positioning different windows on a single large screen, Ken’s concept recognizes that, say, reference and in-progress documents are more [...]
OQO, makers of high-end UMPCs, may have lost their CEO but they could be gaining a new Intel Atom based version of their touchscreen device. CEO Dennis Moore left the company this week, with company co-founder Andy Popell taking over the reigns; that seems to have loosened spokesperson Bob Rosin’s tongue. He appears to be [...]
OQO have confirmed that the UMPC spotted yesterday during the IDF conference is, indeed, a version of the company’s ultraportable touchscreen computer running an Intel Atom CPU. However, CEO Dennis Moore has publicly stated that the device is “a technology showcase, not an impending product announcement”, prompted by Intel choosing OQO as a good example of [...]
It’s been some time since OQO updated their eponymous UMPC, but a change in processor looks to be on the cards. UMPCPortal’s Steve is at the IDF conference, and spotted an OQO device on stage as part of an Intel Atom presentation.
OQO, the makers of that amazing UMPC the OQO Model 02 now has an online outlet store where you can get refurbed (r0×0rz) models of the UMPC for $300 less than their retail versions. That means you can get the regular Model 02 for $999 or either the Sprint or VZW enabled models for $1198.
OQO, the makers of the original UMPC’s the OQO 01, 01+, and new 02 models (the O2 is called the E2 in Europe due to the O2 network provider). Yeah, those guys, they’re dropping something new.
It is apparently regarding a “significant Anytime/Anywhere Computing” release. Gizmodo has been further informed that it’s not just a model [...]
If you need connectivity everywhere, but don’t want to carry around a bulky laptop, then chances are you’ve considered a UMPC. The good news for those that are still considering one is that OQO has updated their 02 lineup.
We already know that Vincent loves the OQO2, but I’ve a sneaking suspicion that the one thing stopping him from proposing to the diminutive UMPC-a-like is the lack of HSDPA high-speed cellular broadband. Well, tnkgrl has not only got an OQO2 but has already voided the warranty by proving that it’s eminently possible to swap [...]
For a second there, I thought OQO already got all the loving it needed from FCC. If you didn’t know, don’t worry; neither did we.
I’m going out on a limb and make the claim that the Model 02 is possibly every bloggers best friend. Why? It’s easily the smallest Windows [...]
I’m not naturally a jealous person. Ordinarily I can be generous and forgiving of other’s good fortune, without wishing them to fall down stairs or be mauled by rabid toads. And yet seeing the photo-shoot fun tnkgrl has had posing a new, excitable OQO Model 02 and a couple of 01+ old-pros has brought me [...]
