Even if the 01 is going for $1k-$1200 on ebay?

That’s only a few hundred more for a full OS. You can load full Linux on it later.

The double capacity battery is due out in December–4-6hrs of battery.

It needs TabPC. It cries out for TabPC.

Still, very nice upgrade.

But my heart now belongs to the Nokia 770…

The OQO now meets the minimum XP Tablet OS requirements: http://www.franklincovey.com/tabletplanner/pc_specifications.html

It’s got a Wacom touchscreen, just like your Tablet Kevin.

We’ll see if OQO has overcome their previous quality issues with the 01+.

Frankly, the Transmeta processor is still the biggest weakness, but the 01+ made some great upgrades to obvious weaknesses.

I’m a convert from the Sony U now and love my OQO 01 (after 5 RMAs).

Now that MS has opened the doors for the Tablet OS on touch screens, I'd like to see the OQO try it out.

Does this have a touch screen? Why does it ship with a digital pen?

Awww I was hoping for the OQO 2 soon with some major changes. Still, with most the bugs worked out of the first, and more ram and hard drive space, this could definitely be a hot item.

Nice surprise OQO!!! We were all waiting for OQO 02 but the new OQO 01 is certainly a PLUS
