Reviewed: OQO Model e2
September 27, 2007 9:18 amOQO is a company that specialises in UMPCs (Ultra Mobile PCs). The OQO Model e2 (£1149 inc. VAT) is its latest device.
The front of the Model e2 is devoid of buttons, dominated instead by a 5-inch display. With a resolution of 800 x 480 pixels, images appear sharp and usable. If icons and text are too large or small, you can also zoom in and out.
