Review By Digitaltechnews

The new OQO Model 02 Ultra-mobile PC has been introduced at CES…finally. The updated OQO Model 02 weighs just one pound and is small enough to fit in a pocket, and is also the world’s smallest Windows Vista capable computer. Now if you remember the OQO model 01+, you’ll be happy to know that the new model 02 is up to four times faster and features a display that is more than six times brighter than its predecessor. It also looks a lot better in black, and there’s a new ergonomic backlit keyboard and capacitive TouchScrollers for easy input and navigation.

The 5-inch transflective screen is a breath of fresh air for OQO fanatics. It’s bigger than the 4.5-inch screen found on the UX180P and just as bright. Whether you’re watching a video clip, clicking through photos, or reading an eBook, the amount of light coming out of the screen will keep you focused for hours. The native resolution is 800-by-480, but you can crank it up to 1,000-by-600 without losing too much detail. (At 1,200-by-720 I found the text too small to get anything done.) There’s also a Rotate key on the thumb board that lets you rotate the screen into portrait mode, which is great for reading long Web pages.

An eye-catching add-on is a sleek black docking station that includes an optical combination drive, with a metal arm attached to hold the model 02. The base comes with one USB port in the front and two in the back, a rear headphone jack, Ethernet port, VGA connector, and High-Definition Multimedia Interface out jack to attach to a full-size monitor.
