Pocketables has a very good review with many photos of the OQO Model 2

Conclusions:

Starting at $1299, the OQO Model 02 may be more expensive than most are willing to pay for a pint-size PC, but its outstanding thumb keyboard, beautiful design, compact form factor, connectivity options, easy navigation, and respectable performance make it well worth the cost.

Substandard (for a second-gen UMPC) battery life and the fact that a digital pen is not included unless the 02 is preloaded with Windows XP Tablet are incredibly annoying, to be sure, but both problems can be solved with a single swipe of your credit card; OQO sells the double-capacity battery for $199 and the digital pen for $29. That aside, the Model 02 is an amazing upgrade to previous models and definitely steps up and delivers on all of its pre-release promises.

    I want to replace my laptop but this thing reminds me of TV watches. There is a point when it is too small. I want it pocket size but I want it to have a touch type keyboard. If someone designs a replacement for my laptop where I do not need to learn to write in some new strange way, nor risk getting carpal tunnel thumbs, let me know. Too many geeks designing these computers.
