I read the crap on Wikipedia, but I have quicky decided a few things. I don't want to drop a poo poo ton of money on some back-alley piece of idiotic hardware. Also, the OQO had a bunch of security crap and mobile broadband and stuff that is designed just to make the company more money, which just makes me wonder even more why they can't just make a laptop with a touch screen that can fit in your-- and I hate to say this word because it's a bullpoo poo marketing buzzword --pocket. All I want to do is install Linux on it and walk around and steal people's wifi and play halo and big rigs and do all my programming on this thing, without having to connect it to any other computer, etc, etc. You get the idea.

Pocket is a marketing buzzword?

Pocket PC, Pocket OS, Pocket Windows, Pocket Linux, Pocket device

NEW AND IMPROVED, SMALL ENOUGH TO FIT IN YOUR POCKET!

Clearly, you don't realize the logical importance yet unreasonable commercialism of this feature. I s'pose they don't make the kind of thing I'm talking about, then?

If you can't answer that, answer this.

Get an Allwinner A10 chinatab.

 I keep marveling at the CPU/GPU chip in my Novo 7 -- it is only barely finger-warm. No heatsink.
Incredible to compare that with the x86 CPUs that have huge heat dissipation plumbing and fan, plus a heatsink on the GPU!

Sounds like a great processor, but what a big tablet! I am specifically looking for something smaller with the same functionality.

A 7"x5" tablet is too big for my pocket.

NO! I want an ultra-mobile PC or PDA that I can install a desktop Linux OS on without chroot.

What a great PSP ripoff. Does it have a touch screen?

Basically, take this, remove the keyboard and knock down the price.

EDIT: It does have a touch screen! Now to investigate running Linux on the thing.

nope
