There was no official reason cited for the closure, and Raon did not respond to e-mail queries, though no further products from the company are expected.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/07/14/raon.digital.closes.doors/ Tue, 14 Jul 2009 20:00:00 GMT Mobile Internet device market crashing? http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/06/05/market.for.mids.crashing/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0904/compalmidintro.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Sales of mobile Internet devices (MIDs) have fallen well short of Intel's expectations for the category it invented, those at companies making the devices claimed on Friday. The American company reportedly estimated that between 150,000 and 200,000 of the handheld devices would sell since the Atom Z500 was launched in March but, according to DigiTimes' sources, has only managed 30,000 actual sale... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/06/05/market.for.mids.crashing/ Fri, 05 Jun 2009 12:00:00 GMT OQO in trouble, looking for buyer? http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/04/14/oqo.in.trouble/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0904/oqomodel02plus-2.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />UMPC developer OQO may be close to shuttering if it can't find a buyer, investigations show. A post at fan forum OQOTALK cites multiple sources who say that the company is trying to sell itself and that cutbacks have been put into place to keep OQO running, including reduced hours. Doubts exist that the company's Model 02+ handheld will successfully ship.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/04/14/oqo.in.trouble/ Tue, 14 Apr 2009 14:45:00 GMT OQO model 02+ gets OLED screen, Atom chip http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/01/07/oqo.model.02.plus/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0901/oqomodel02plus.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />OQO in a late-night announcement revealed the model 02+, a significant revamp of its veteran UMPC. The new version is said to be the first ever PC to have an OLED display and, as a result, has a much more colorful, 1,000,000:1 contrast touchscreen that is also more visible outdoors. Without the need for a backlight, it also improves battery life. OQO claims that, in tandem with changes undernea... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/01/07/oqo.model.02.plus/ Thu, 08 Jan 2009 04:15:00 GMT OQO to show Model 2+ With 1.86GHz Atom, OLED http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/12/31/oqo.186ghz.model.2/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0812/oqomodel02.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />UMPC maker OQO will soon release the successor to its Model 02 portable PC, which is expected to be as much as twice as fast. The Model 2+ is reported to sport an uncommon 1.86GHz Intel Atom CPU along with 2GB of RAM. In comparison, the fastest chip offered in the current device is a 1.6GHz CPU from VIA, and the model is restricted to just 1GB of RAM. Further differentiating the new model from the... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/12/31/oqo.186ghz.model.2/ Wed, 31 Dec 2008 11:15:00 GMT OQO UMPC hacked, running Leopard http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/04/29/oqo.umpc.running.leopard/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/macnn/news/0804/oqoleopard.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />A hacker claims to have installed Mac OS X Leopard on OQO's signature UMPC, the model 02. The software is arranged in a dual-boot configuration with the default OS, Windows Vista, and is said to run virtually everything a Mac would also be capable of, including Cover Flow, Time Machine and the Dashboard.

Buyers can now choose a new SSD drive, doubled in size from 32 to 64GB; the option is significant in that few full-sized notebooks offer a 64GB SSD, let alone a device as small as a UMPC. The model 02 has also been given the option of a "sunlight-optimized" display, making it more practical for p... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/01/08/oqo.model.02.upgrade/ Tue, 08 Jan 2008 18:20:00 GMT
