Handtops, UMPC - UX vrs OQO Pics!

06/18/06 + 3vw

I don’t recall seeing any pics of a UX-50 next to a OQO yet.

I got together with another member of Handtops (Rarelaptops) and shot these comparison pics.

It’s sad we can’t post full views of pics on this forum… I hate that slider bar stuff… don’t you?

Hint:

The device looks sweet, but the spec seems like it is still in flux. The productivity pack includes both MS Office Works and SBE. I am disappointed that Tablet Edition is not available as shipping OS, and would have liked a choice between CF Reader or EDGE. I am delighted that they were able to solve the docking station dilemma...

I am still not convinced that the thickness meets my definition of "pocketable", but I am very excited that the competition is heating up in the handtop form factor. I can't wait to see what oqo comes back with, and what averatec will be promoting soon.

I third that. I am BIG SONY fan (as many of you already know) but I too am concerned about pocket size. I would consider the OQO 2 (and would wait) if I had ANY info.

I'm curious too, but, given OQO's closed-mouth-edness in the past, I'm not expecting major revelations until they're ready to release.
I hope there will be DirectX support on the 02 or it won't run Vista. Even though I'm buying a UX, I'm hoping for a good, solid, competitive response from OQO because that will continue to push things forward.

BTW, I love the pics. (Even the backgrounds are nice.) They tell quite a bit more than I thought about relative size. I thought there would be more of a difference.

I’ll be curious to hear/see what Sony has to say about the Model 02… that’s if they don’t supersede their own UX waaay before OQO ever shows up with an 02. lol

For obvious reasons, I look at OQO’s progress the same way I look at the Transmeta processor… slooooow! hehehe

Prophecy: I can feel the attacks already. hahaha

Wow… I’m impressed that the pic format has been changed. Thanks Captain if this is your handywork.

Yikes, kind of freaky when I post a smiley now... it's backwards.

Hi -

I haven't checked in for awhile - but I have to say the UX is very impressive. Actually, one of my biggest gripes about the OQO was the lack of a backlit keyboard - and the UX seems to have a very bright backlight indeed! I just bought a couple of MacBook Pro's - but the UX is now on my "to buy" list!

Thanks for the photos and the digimovie!
