OQO Inc., creator of the model 02, the world's smallest fully functional Windows Vista PC and the first ultra mobile PC with embedded 3G mobile broadband, today announced its go-to-market strategy for the federal government market. The company has hired John Inkley as director of federal sales and partnered with federal IT resellers including Telos, Emtec Federal and Government Contracting Services (GCS), Inc.

"Government agencies depend on Telos to offer truly innovative products that satisfy our government customers' unique and demanding requirements," said Ralph Buona, vice president of Telos Managed Solutions. "The OQO offers tremendous flexibility and will be positioned as a cornerstone of several integrated product solutions we offer."

OQO's relationship with the federal market sector initiated with funding in 2004 from Washington D.C.-based Paladin Capital Group. Paladin's management team includes the former Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), the former Director of the National Security Agency (NSA), and the former Deputy Director of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).

Recognizing the dependence of government workers on wireless networks and mobile devices, the OQO model 02, equipped with integrated EV-DO Wireless WAN capability from either Verizon Wireless or Sprint, enables users in the field with unprecedented access to information and empowers secure mobile computing. With a 1.5GHz processor, 60GB hard disk drive and 1GB of RAM, the model 02 harnesses the power of Windows XP and Vista(TM) to run full versions of mission-critical applications such as FalconView and Groove.

"The UMPC space continues to gain validation as customers in the private as well as public sector fully realize the benefits of the ultra mobile form factor together with the ability to run sophisticated PC-based applications," said John Inkley. "As the roles of federal employees continue to evolve, the flexibility and mobility offered by the model 02 enables the anytime/anywhere productivity they require."
