asatruer: #compulab_fit_pc The Sony and OQO devices are UMPC with keyboards, mice-equivalents, and Touch Screens all built into one device. There is barely any grounds for comparison here. Dec 14, 07

Rocket325: #compulab_fit_pc Compared to the Sony and OQO minis that go for $1,800, this is a bargain! Both only have 20 gig hard drives. Aug 5, 07
