With advanced cellular networking and a great screen, the OQO Model 2+ is a compelling UMPC at last.
It’s been a long time coming, but OQO has finally gotten it right with the OQO Model 2+ UMPC. We spent most of our hands-on time with the device talking to a rep from Intel, who was crowing about the OQO Model 2+’s 1.86GHz Intel Atom Processor.
We had trouble paying attention because we were so completely enthralled by the OQO’s OLED screen. It’s gorgeous, among the best screen’s we’ve ever seen. The OLED technology provides rich color and great contrast on a bright screen.
We watched some fantastic nature footage and it looked as good as a high quality high-definition television.
The OQO Model 2+ may be worth it for the media playback possibilities alone, thanks to that great 800 by 480 pixel display.
The OQO Model 2+ will be available in the first half of 2009 with pricing starting at $1000.
