In this economy they will not get many people interested and the few that might will look for a fire sale. I think most would agree I do not have a lot of use for a powerful PC that is only good for standing and does not have a normal keyboard that works.

Limited market for pocket pc's? That is rather funny the pocket pc's like what the OQO and other full desktop OS small computers so far are not really pocket pc's as far as function. Yes they now have a full desktop OS but until someone makes one that uses a touch type keyboard they are not really true pocket pc's. To me the market for a real pocket PC is huge but so far we have yet to see one built yet.

Pocket PC's are much better for a thumb computer type use. The OQO has much more power and is really geared more for full PC use but it can not do so with a thumb keyboard. What they should do is rethink the size. I'd like to it as a clamshell for it to be worth a purchase.

Apple should buy it with the engineers and make the ultimate pocketable Mac!

Their product is pretty difficult to use as it requires you to hunt and peck with two fingers. That is just plain dumb for a full Windows computer. Where is the keyboard? That is the reason probably why they could not sell them. If someone buys the company the need to overhall the design and provide a real keyboard if they are ever to expect anyone to buy their computers.

there is a limited market, dell has no reason to buy oqo. oqo has a niche it can fill, but its a small one. those wanting just small and light and have avg computing needs, can get a netbook. those needing walkaround (actually those who need to compute while standing or moving) computing, it is a great fit; bu that is a small market. size just wont cut it.

also throw in horrible management team, and this one ends poorly. not surprised if you met the current and former team
