Excellent post! I guess we are going in opposite directions on these two device form factors. Thanks for the pointers on the accessories. Hi chicagoguy. Excellent post!

My only complaints have been: 1. processor speed (sometimes only), but mine is the VIA chip, so upgrading now to the Intel Atom should improve that dramatically. 2. screen size too small for practical business use. i bought it intentding tablet use and for ultimate portability. the portability is fantastic, but the screen really hurts eyes if you try to do more than 30 minutes of work on it, and it can't fit enough into the screen without scrolling (you can zoom down to technically do it, but then you can't read it). if your intended uses are just web browsing and multimedia, then this is unbeatable device. if, like me, you want to do extended work and/or tablet, then it works functionally great, but screen size is too small for practical uses in that way. btw, the digitizer is active! personally, i am about to buy a fujitsu 8.9 inch tablet to replace my oqo. the 8.9 inch screen size is much more practical for my uses, but still portable (albeit not as portable as my oqo). if you do get the oqo, make sure you get the following accessories: docking station; extra power adapter; car/plane adaptor; extended battery; metal carry case.
