Sorry to dissapoint you but the word is out they are now gone and completely dead. This was so obvious as I predicted it from day one. People do not find a full PC useful if you only give thumb input. It was not price, not marketing, it was great technology in the wrong size and shape that did not give a keyboard to enable it to be useful.

That's right, rant without read! The header said "OQOTalk", not OQO.

There you go again, primaz. I have two OQO 02's and bought them specifically because of the portability of the thumb keyboard.... In full and fair disclosure, perhaps you should let these people know you've been banned from OQOTALK.com for abusive rants on this issue.....

Can you not read? "OQO is closing shop". They are gone dude.

The reality is OQO never was popular as nobody wants a full PC that relies on thumb input. Simple as that they could not generate any real sales numbers in all these years. You may be one of the few whom are ok with thumb input for a full PC but the market has spoked there is not enough demand for thumb input on a full PC so OQO is now just like Flipstart dead.

If they made it a touch type clamshell they would still be around and be profitable. I told you so years ago. You now own an obsolete tech that nobody will support good luck!

Can you not read, are you incapable of discerning the difference between OQOTALK, the web site, and OQO, the company that produces the OQO handtop? OQO might be gone, but OQOTALK, the subject here, is alive and well.

Flipstart dead ?

I don't think FS dead yet. One of the product is discontinue but it is far from dead.

Correct me if I am wrong but I was sure Flipstart only had one product?

Vulcan whatever had one consumer based product (the flipstart) they released. They have been bought by GM or something on contract to make them more rugged version of the flipstart. They go for about $5k if you're interested.

Oh and BTW 3goldens, you've probably been banned from the site, as it was never down.
