Mark Gibbs, NetworkWorld, has done a nice little writeup on the OQO. If you are considering the OQO or something similar, you might want to take a look.

Here is some news from PC Magazine on OQO: a retooling effort to shift to the vertical market, a move brought on by their newly announced CEO, Jay Shiveley.

Last year Toshiba waded into the Android tablet market with the Thrive, a 10.1-inch slate that served as the company’s response to what they deemed missing in the then current crop.
