Review Excerpts

MobilityGuru.com - March 2006 - Summary: At almost every point OQO seems to have made excellent design decisions. But when the rubber hits the road and you have to make a buy/no buy decision, if you’re like me, you’ll have some serious doubts.

JiWire.com - February 2006 - Summary: Those for whom a truly mobile Windows XP machine is a necessity will adore it and spend inordinate amounts of time showing it off to airplane seatmates. Those for whom a CPU workhorse or built-in optical player/recorder is key will pass it by.
