1500$, vaporware.

$1500 is a little steep for a rendered phone. Unless it comes with the copy of 3dStudio they created it with :P

"A little steep"? You are too kind. $1100 more than a 770 for a phone and Windows seems to have passed "a little steep" and gone into you've-got-to-be-nuts-to-pay-this territory.

IMO.

Indeed
 
Have no fear of the Windows devices. Microsoft has just admitted it is out of gas. Check this out. This is a unambiguous admission that they are going to have to stop doing graphics they way they've been doing graphics from day one in Redmond and to start doing graphics the way that the designers of X laid the groundwork for over 20 years ago. Microsoft and the companies that are depending on Microsoft can not only not play in the same league as 770-class devices, they can't even show up for the game. Not everybody knows it yet but the people watching this know that it's game over, man.

Roger: Get to the Wired Store. Fondle the OQO... heh-heh.

RogerS 2005-12-17 02:04

Yes, well, I will accept an OQO if I go to a party and they give me one free as a party favor. :)

I don't have anything against it except for the price.

Jerome 2005-12-17 08:56

Yes. One of the big pluses of the 770 is that the price is right.

And that it is available now, of course.

No Competition, It will be hard enough breaking this device into the market without the hefty pricetag this one has. 770 is still ok.

More info about it!
