The recent Microsoft-sponsored conference on Windows hardware
engineering (WinHEC)included announcement of a tiny computer that
could be adapted to use as a field recorder.
The company's name is OQO. From the press release:
"OQO's first product is a highly functional and versatile handheld
wireless computer that easily becomes a notebook or desktop PC.
Measuring just 4.9 inches by 2.9 inches by 0.9 inches and weighing
less than nine ounces, OQO's PC is a full-function computer running
Microsoft Windows XP Professional and incorporating up to a 1GHz
Crusoe TM5800 processor from Transmeta Corporation; four inch, super
bright VGA color LCD; Synaptics touchscreen; 256MB onboard RAM; 10GB
hard drive; 1394 FireWire, USB, audio, OQO-link connectors; and
802.11b and Bluetooth wireless networking."
Now where did I leave my Bluetooth-equipped shotgun mic?
