Update Fall 2007: Read our review of the OQO model 02 that replaces the model 01.

Make no mistake, the OQO model 01 is one of the most impressive technological feats of the decade. OQO spent five years developing this handheld computer, and likely it took every day to fit a PC into a device the size of a large PDA. The model 01, currently the only OQO model, runs Windows XP Home Edition rather than a PDA operating system, yet it will fit easily in a purse, brief case or roomy pocket. At 4.9 x 3.4 x .9 inches, the device isn't much larger than large Pocket PC and Palm models such as the Palm LifeDrive and HP iPAQ hx4700, though it is heavier at 14 ounces. For those who must have full blown Windows on the go in a tiny package, the nearly $2,000 OQO might prove indispensable. Since Windows XP wasn't designed for use in such a small format, usability does suffer, and we'll talk more about that later.

Yes, you can run your favorite Windows applications on the OQO. Don't expect much in the gaming department however from this 1 GHz Transmeta Crusoe powered machine with 256 megs of RAM and an 8 meg graphics card. Obviously there's no internal CD ROM drive in a device this size, but you can hook up an external USB or even FireWire CD or DVD drive to the OQO to install applications and watch movies. The device has one USB and one unpowered FireWire port along with a headphone jack. For a full set of ports, you'll use the included docking cable. The cable itself is an interesting concept: rather than cramming ports into a dock small enough to mate nicely with the model 01, OQO includes a long, rubbery 4.5 foot long docking cable that's peppered with ports.

In the Box

The OQO model 01 comes in an elegant and classy large black box which holds the computer, stylus, world charger (notebook style inline brick), a metal stand, slip case, docking cable and a software restore CD. There is no comprehensive printed or PDF manual, but you do get a basic guide.

Features at a Glance

As mentioned, the OQO model 01 has a 1 GHz Transmeta Crusoe processor, 256 megs of RAM, a 5' 800 x 480 color display with digitizer, USB and FireWire on board but no internal speaker. It has both Bluetooth and WiFi, and via the docking cable, 10/100 Ethernet as well as Ethernet. This means you can dock the OQO at your desk to a monitor, keyboard, mouse and wired Ethernet, then unplug it for use on the road.

Design and Ergonomics

The model 01 looks elegant in its bronze colored metal casing and has a minimalist design. It's a basic rectangle with the 4' display taking up most of the front face. The OQO logo, power button and mic holes are the display's only companions on the front face. The docking connectors (3, all of which plug into the cable's end, and the far left port doubles as the charging connector) are on the bottom left edge, and the multifunction jog wheel and USB port are on the bottom right. The 4 pin unpowered FireWire port is on the left side and the standard 3.5mm headphone jack is on the right. The back of the computer is finished in matching bronze and has a battery charge indicator, as the entire back plate actually is the removable battery! The unit feels good in reasonably large hands, though it does run hot.

OQO was a U.S. computer hardware company that was notable for manufacture of handheld computers. Its systems possess the functionality of a tablet PC in a size slightly larger than a personal digital assistant (PDA). According to Guinness World Records, the 'OQO' was the smallest full-powered, full-featured personal computer in 2005.^[1] The company's first version of subnotebook computer is the OQO model 01. Recently, it has been compared with the Ultra Mobile PC platform, although it was introduced before the UMPC took flight. The company was founded in 2000.^[2]

OQO was reported to have stopped production in April 2009.^[3][4][5] The company confirmed that it had ceased operations in May 2009 because of financial difficulties.^[6]

OQO Model 01[edit]

The original OQO model 01 was announced several years before prototypes were even seen, leading many people to call it vaporware until it was finally released in Q3 of 2004. The computer shipped with Windows XP installed (Home Edition or Professional, but the Tablet PC Edition was not available until the model 01+ was released) and featured a 1 GHzTransmeta Crusoe processor, 20 GBhard drive, and 256 MB of RAM. It included USB 1.1, FireWire 400, a headphone port, and a built-in microphone, integrated 802.11b wireless radio, as well as Bluetooth. The OQO uses an Wacom electromagnetic induction-type pen stylus with a magnetic field sensitive 800x480 resolution transflective screen. Retail shipments began on October 14, 2004.Its size is 4.9 in by 3.4 in by 0.9 in and it weighs 0.9 lbs.^[7]

OQO Model 01+[edit]

The OQO model 01+ was announced and released on September 27, 2005. Representing an incremental update to the model 01, the OQO model 01+ features a larger 30 GB hard drive, 512 MB of RAM (Double that of the OQO 01), USB 2.0, and an internal speaker. It also adds support for portrait display mode (An update for the model 01 is available from OQO). It also has a redesigned screen bezel intended to improve the accuracy of its Wacom enabled display (By increasing the space between the bezel and edge of the display).

Originally it was only available running Windows XP Home or Pro editions. The OQO model 01+ running on Microsoft Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005 was introduced on January 4, 2006, taking advantage of handwriting recognition and improved navigation.

OQO Model 02[edit]

The OQO model 02 was introduced by Bill Gates in January 2007 at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. He showcased OQO's next generation of ultra-mobile PC, the model 02, in his keynote address that weighed in at a mere one pound and is small enough to fit in a pocket, the model 02 is the world's smallest fully functional Windows Vista PC.

Like its predecessor, the model 02 Ultra-Mobile PC is a handheld device that runs Windows (choice of XP Professional or Vista Business.) The new product sported a new black casing and a backlit keyboard, a much brighter 5 inch LCD screen, 800x480 pixel display with an active digitizer for pen-based input.

Several models were introduced at the time with VIA C7-M ULV processors that ranged from 1.2 GHz, 1.5 GHz, and 1.6 GHz, choice of 512MB or 1GB of RAM, and choice of hard drive. In the solid state drive (SSD) category a 32 or a 64 GB are available, or standard HD choices are from 60 to 120 GB. Also included is Bluetooth 2.0, 802.11a/b/g WiFi, USB 2.0, a 3.5 mm x 1 line out/line in audio jack and an HDMI-out port. The model 02 also offered optional integrated EV-DO mobile broadband with choice of Verizon or Sprint as service provider.

Advanced security features are also provided, including an on-board Trusted Platform Module, and thanks to the VIA C7-M's built-in Padlock features, hardware-level encryption, hashing and random number generation functions.

The model 02 also has the ability to zoom to 1000x600 and 1200x720 interpolated modes, horizontal/vertical screen rotation, and a sensor that automatically protects the hard drive in case of a drop. Accessories include a novelly-designed docking station (with a DVD+-RW drive, HDMI and VGA video out, three USB 2.0 ports, and a 3.5 mm audio jack), an extended battery that lasts up to six hours, and choice of a soft leatherette 'executive' case or durable aluminum 'stronghold' case.
