c|net has also a review of the OQO 01:
The good:
- Very versatile;
- runs full Windows XP OS;
- Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are included;
- good docking solution; attractive design.

The bad:
- Weak performance;
- short battery life;
- runs hot;
- too big for a pocket;
- expensive.

As some of you said, I don't see how it is any good to run Windows XP on this little device. At least three of the "bad" points can be related to Windows XP: Weak performance - no wonder if you try to run Windows XP on a PC that's barely bigger than a PDA; same applies short battery life; and high price is at least partly due to the expensive WinXP license.
