New OQO Model 02: Better specs, better prices
According to a press release bearing tomorrow’s date, OQO has just upgraded their Model 02 line of sliding-display UMPCs and reduced the starting price to $1299 (down $200 from the original base configuration).
The upgrades include an increase in storage capacity (40GB, 80GB, and 120GB), a 32GB SSD option, processor speeds topping out at 1.6GHz, and EV-DO Rev A mobile broadband connectivity from either Verizon Wireless or Sprint.
Presumably because the new units aren’t supposed to be announced until tomorrow, the OQO online store doesn’t yet list the updated models or prices. (Screen capture of current stock below.)
