RE: Authorization on OQO 01 Ultra

Hi.
        The price is $1900 for the system with XP home and $2000 for the
system with XP Pro. Keep in mind that it might be somewhat slow, as it has
limited memory, a relatively slow processor, and a small drive for XP. 
        The only problem I can see with it is the video card (if the
keyboard isn't easily usable, plugging in another one is easily done). As I
said before, though, the issue with the video card may be no issue at all. I
just want confirmation that the unit works well before buying. Another
caveat is that I haven't been able to get an answer as to whether the sound
card is multi-channel. I believe it is, as they say it's Soundmax AC97
compatible, and those cards are multi-channel, but I haven't seen it play
two streams simultaneously myself.
        Aman

Subject: Re: Authorization on OQO 01 Ultra

I just checked out the Oqo and I will have to admit I was drewling a little
bit.  This little device could be the coolest thing I have seen in a long
time.

1.  Has any one seen a thumb keyboard before.  Just wondering if it will be
easy to feel the differences in the keys or if it will be tough to feel. 

2.  I could not see any price on their web site.  Does anyone know how much
this is going to set me back.

3.  Is the only concern now the video card?
