It's an old saying that there are no bad ideas. We beg to differ. The OQO is one of such ideas we could have happily lived without. You pay roughly $2,000 and you get a sluggish 1GHz Transmeta processor, an undersized 30GB hard drive, insufficient 512MB of RAM, and a dull 800 x 480 5" screen. Yet somehow OQO Inc. managed to win the venture arm of Motorola to its side, plus to raise another $20 million in cash aimed at scaling sales and marketing efforts and accelerating research and development of their forthcoming OQO products.
