The dirty little secret is that the guys who designed the OQO used to work
for Apple--helped on the TiBook, in fact. The really sad part is that they
left to develop the OQO and approached Apple first, about licensing the OSX
from them. Apple declined....

Now, as to the device itself. I think that having a desktop hard drive that
would automatically back up the internal automatically would be essential!
Imagine _losing_ this device!!! It's everything!!! ouch... That's my only
concern with it.
