What we have here today is a new ripoff device wearing the OQO branding, while at the same time resembling some of the Palm’s popular smartphones – Treo 500 or Centro. According to UMPC Portal, OQO has nothing to do with the phone and “the manufacturer is not authorised by or affiliated with OQO in any way.”
The strange thing, though, is that apparently this device runs Windows Mobile 6.1. How on Earth they managed to get a license from Microsoft is beyond me. It’s clearly a ripoff device and I don’t see a reason why would the Redmond giant go this way.
Other specs include quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE radio, 2 megapixel camera, 624MHz CPU, 128MB RAM, Bluetooth and WiFi. On the downside, we don’t see a sign of 3G, nor an option that the OQO G900 will ever hit the Western hemisphere…

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do.
In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
