Great article James – I’ve always wanted to hear more about people using cutting edge productivity tools to be more creative.

Also, I like John’s comment above and am still wondering when OQO is going to slap cell phone functionality on the device?!? One device would then be all you needed (and a docking station).

I have an OQO 02 which I bought for writing a novel on (to replace three devices.)

Is it possible to write more than a few sentences with the keyboard? Yes, it is. Just yesterday my thumbs produced over a thousand words straight off. It was my fingers holding the OQO that went to sleep. I didn’t need to stop though. I just took hold of the stylus and continued writing. After finishing that I then plugged in my USB headset, fired up DNS 9 and started dictating. All on the same machine, in various parts of the house.
I find that each input method comes in handy depending on what I’m writing about. If it’s an idea I’ve been playing with in my mind, I’ll dictate. If it’s something I need to think about while I’m writing it then the keyboard or stylus is used.
I’m not sure which method is the quickest with regards to the finished text though. Dictating needs a lot of correcting. Using the keyboard quickly means that letters are often missing or words are misspelled but that’s what editing is for.
The advantage of having one small device with me all the time is the perfect solution. I just wish the screen was readable in bright sunlight although I am toying with making some kind of sunshade for it.
