OQO: "Look Ma, I'm a Tablet!"
Wowee! OQO has finally made the move to a Tablet PC Edition of Windows XP. All of a sudden, the Model 01+ doesn't seem half bad, though it's probably safe to assume that the battery life still greatly sucketh, and that it still might burn a hole in your pocket, both literally and metaphorically ($2099). But hey, it's still cool.

Um, all normal-sized laptops have PC Card slots, including Tablet PCs (like my former Motion Computing M1200, for instance). I understand wanting to save space and miniaturize, but I imagine the lack of PC Card is a deal killer for a lot of folks.

Well, its really compact, no more space for anything else, if it would have had it, it would have been significantly thicker.. :wink:

That's right, look at the huge DualCor cpc it's probably over twice as big, is 3 cm thick and doesn't even include a PC Card slot either.

Mwahahahahaha.
My nemesis, the mandatory PC Card slot for EVDO access, is soon to be defeated. Perhaps as soon as February.

Suddenly, an OQO+ starts making a tad bit o' sense.
