It runs Windows XP, an operating system not very well suited for handhelds. I doubt such devices will sell.

Will they release this damn thing already so people will stop posting about it? Ugh.

It has a video card, a crappy 8 MB ATI rage mobility, most likely.

Alexander, how do you know it has a video card? I've searched all over the internet for info on the video card but I couldn't find anything. I only found (on the OQO website

) that when you are using an external monitor it has 3D Accelerated 1280x1024 view.

This information is for the old version of the OQO who were never released.
It might be a 32mb.

I hope none of you expect this to have a video card of over 8MB IF it will have any video card at all. Miracle is right in that currently the only info regarding a video card for the OQO is the "3D accelerator" on the docking station that allows for up to 1280 x 1024 external resolutions and even then it probably means just a basic 4MB vid card simply capable of any external resolution for its sole purpose. Forget PC gaming on this thing. The most you'll be able to do is emulate the SNES (which you can already do on a PPC) and play PC abandonware (I know this is an understatement but not as much as you'd think). Therefore, I stand by my comment that this is just an expensive neat little gadget with too much hype.
