OQO Model 02 Full-featured ultra mobile PC
December 25th, 2007Ergonomically designed for usability on the go, the model 02 features an integrated backlit thumb keyboard, track stick, and capacitive TouchScrollers™.
For wireless connectivity, the model 02 comes standard with WiFi 802.11a/b/g and Bluetooth 2.0 technology.
It is just as small as the Model 01: at 142 x 84 x 25mm it’s about the size of a small but thick ring-bound notebook. It still has that solid, military hardware feel to it. The screen still slides up in one smooth, fluid motion to reveal a QWERTY keyboard underneath. And the chassis is constructed of the same stiff magnesium alloy.

The screen is easily one of the best tablet screens available, proving bright and clear with little sign of the haze associated with such panels. There is an ambient sensor that pitches the screen brightness in accordance with the light around it, which worked exceedingly well…
