Perfect for someone who needs more than a Blackberry but less than a 3+ lb laptop.

The keyboard on this thing is going to be familiar to a Blackberry or Treo / similar smart phone user.

Skip the Tablet XP option because handwriting recognition in Windows is horrid.

You gotta buy the damage protection plan because this thing will eventually get dropped and it invariably will separate from the screen and the hardrive despite the drop protection sensors.

Repairing the HDD alone is the same cost as the damage protection plan and the protection plan is worthy investment.

It is tremendously better than an Asus EEEPC / BUT ALSO SIX TIMES MORE EXPENSIVE THAN A EEE ( important to mention before the eeePC loyalists send me death threats ).

It is useless to compare this to the prior OQO 01 released in 2003 since hardly anyone purchased those and the few that did used their angst to design the improvements for the 02.

Boost the RAM to the max because 512 isn't enough, and SKIP VISTA since Vista stinks worse than raw pig vomit on this CPU.

If you'd like an alternative, consider the Fujitsu Lifebook, you can get a semi-comparably equiped one for less but the screen isn't as bright and tight and you can only slower AT&T EDGE networking in the Fujitsu instead of the blazing EVDO in the OQO's.
