While the OQO is cool from a formfactor POV surely its just a
glorified PC ? Apart from the shrinkage wheres the innovation ?

Along similar lines I sometimes wonder if Apple (or someone else)
could shrink a 68040 chipset to a PDA size and provide enough RAM to
boot MacOS 7.5 from RAM Disk - provide ClarisWorks on ROM and either
Graffiti or a small keyboard. You'd get a full 'Classic' Mac
environment in the palm of your hand (I bet someone already has
Basalisk on the Zaurus or PocketPC . . .).
