The $$$$ observation is important, because that is a distinction between this and and the iPhone. Yeah, the iPhone is still expensive, but as it includes the iPod and a phone it seems much more reasonable. Plus it will come down in price. The other difference is marketing. I hadn't heard of the OQO because I don't keep up with technology that much. But I suspect everyone will know about the iPhone. And finally, the iPhone will be really easy to use. It's not just a PC made small. It's a made small in a way that works well for a small screen. The point about the iPhone is it looks like it will start the process of a mass adoption of pocket computing. That's what I'm excited about, because it will change culture and the way we interact. The OQO is really good to see though. The hardware already exists, it seems; we just need more people to have it. Bring the price down and build great software and things will really change.
