I did not see it, I was looking at the USB connectors. I had wanted to get a picture, but there wasn't time, and we wanted to focus on trying to get as many pics of the device itself as we could.

it's the port all the way at left. Two (or is that five? Hard to see...) pins, so doesn't seem to be a typical PDA/laptop power port.

It's five!! (clic here); I wonder what's the seemingly connector just left of the scroll wheel.

All the large press images are available directly here!!

Cheers for the link to the images JLP. That certainly clears up any lingering questions about connections. :lol:

Maybe the 802.11B external antenna conector?

Couldn't resist reading possibly more information about my next pocket PC.

It all started with me considering getting the Archos Gmini HDD MP3 player. To have a better feeling of its tiny size I decided to draw its size on paper, cut it out and glue it on a few pieces of cardboard to simulate the thickness.

Then I thought about doing the same for the OQO and guess what: I realized it's virtually the same size as my Axim X5 as I've said before, only the thickness is only 4 tiny mm thicker.

Kati had a vocabulary problem, now Jonathon has one too.

May I suggest you, Jonathon, to read your definition dictionary at "much" (the adjective you used in conjunction with "bigger" to compare the size of the OQO and the X5) and also please look up "slightly" and appreciate the difference in meaning.

And yes, the OQO is only slightly bigger than the X5.

Now if you were to compare the OQO (or the X5) with the new Sony Vaio U50/70, I agree you could call the latter "much bigger"; same thing compared with, say, any Newton MessagePad. All these are indeed much bigger than the OQO (or an X5 for that matter), but not compared to the X5, sorry. The OQO's only slightly bigger than the X5, so both are virtually the same size.

Mon Ami, the word "Much" is defined in the WordNet dictionary as follows: "Much - (qualifier used with mass nouns) great in quantity or degree or extant."

The OQO is almost 50% larger than the X5 in terms of volume. That justifies the use of the work "much" to me. :wink:

But, it is an individual thing of course. What is too large for one person, may be too small for another.

(And yes I had spotted and corrected you name before you mentioned it :wink: ).

Please, guys, stop beating dead horses. It is either too big or not.
And that is an individual's value judgement.

Yep - unfortunately this thread has become trashed beyond recognition. I've split off some of the more recent argumentative posts to the HOFS here: http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/foru...ic.php?t=28831
