Designing the OQO Mobile Internet Device
Lovely little beams of blue light flickered off the antenna popping out of a tiny black box inside the CES Kickoff Party Thursday night. That’s when things turned real interesting and geeky…
Efren Toscano from TechZulu was first on the record button after we introduced ourselves to the cool guy who we would soon learn was the software wizard who built the award-winning, hot mobile Internet Device at CES, the OQO.
Joshua Pollack was kind enough to share his stories about building the OQO around what was then called “Silverthorne” — today known as the tiny, might Intel Atom processor).
The tight design feels nice, and it’s the first computer with an OLED touch screen that gives off super high image quality. One of my favorite features is the LED button that tells you how much batter power you have without you having to boot up the device’s operating system.
