Cool Gadget #001: OQO e2


Today I did a closer look at the OQO device - model e2, the smallest full-featured PC. OQO (http://www.oqo.com) is a San Francisco based company. The founder Jory Bell was working in the design-department of Apple and did hands on the G3. The OQO model e2 is cheaper than similar Mobile Internet Devices - and the excellent design should work - in my eyes the best of all these Ultra Mobile PC's and/or MID's. Very cool looks the docking station with integrated DVD+RW/RAM. By the way the OQO design is by Nick Merz a former Apple guy. Amazing is the full HD support (1080 !!!) via HDMI interface. Best of all - comes with embedded HSDPA mobile broadband capability, unfortunatly only for people in Europe and Asia (yeahh - I live in Germany). The north-american continent is relativly underdeveloped with available high-speed Internet connectivity.
Definitly a "Build For Me Item". Would be nice to have auto-stereoscopic SeeFront 3D optics by Spatial View for it - to watch Sensio 3D DVD's without glasses. Awesome.
My voting: ***** of 5
