Do you like the OQO better, simply because of size? Or does it "surf" better as well? Just curious you impression of the "surfing experience" on both.

My surfing experience requires:
1- Being able to click on any media available on the site and either using it on the fly or downloading and saving it to disk
2- Authenticating to websites with alpha, numeric, and symbols/special characters
3- Access to the site where ever I'm at
The Sony U and OQO are identical in use with respect to #1 because they both run the same XP, which is the operating system that I use the most.
The OQO blows the U (not the UX) away with respect to #2 because of the thumboard. Even with XP Tablet Edition, adding alpha, numeric, and symbols/special characters using hand writing recognition is a bear with the on-screen HWR or keyboard on the U. XP Tablet OS HWR has never been as god as Palm's Graffiti HWR software, so HWR is annoying using XP Tablet OS to me.
The OQO blows everything away (including the UX) with respect to #3 because it's pocketable. I can carry it everywhere with me. It sits in my pocket with my keys, wallet, and cellphone. I found myself leaving the Sony U behind while I could take the OQO with me just about anywhere and no one would know that I had a full computer with me and when I was using it, it was unobtrusive and as annoying as a BlackBerry to other people in the same room.
