Unlike the UMPCs and MIDs displayed by Intel, OQO's 02 is built on a processor from VIA -- though an OQO rep at CES told us the company would be closely watching Intel's progress with Menlow, as well as ultra-low voltage chips Advanced Micro Devices plans to release in the coming year.

The 02 runs Windows XP and Vista and is priced at between $1,299 (1.2GHz CPU, 512MB DDR2 SDRAM, 40GB hard disk) and $2,349 (1.6GHz CPU, 1GB DDR2 SDRAM, 32-64GB solid state drive). It also features embedded Mobile WiMAX for Sprint's Xohm Network, which OQO demonstrated at Sprint's booth at CES.
