Anyone Have An OQO?

Okay, I know this is getting hopelessly geeky, but does anyone have a OQO pocket PC?

It is a Windows XP Tablet PC, about 5" x 3.5" x 1", less than 1 pound, running on a 1 GHz Crusoe CPU with 512MB RAM and a 30GB drive. 802.11b, Bluetooth, USB 2.0, Firewire, speaker and audio in/out jacks, input is via a Blackberry-like keyboard with pointing stick and numeric keypad, or via pen on the touchscreen. Battery life on the standard battery appears to be 2 to 3 hours, but a double-life battery is reported to give as much as 4.5 hours of constant use (streaming music), which probably translates to a full day of occasional use/hibernate/use. I guess you'd plug it into AC (and use a Bluetooth keyboard) if you were going to sit down and write a novel.

I'm starting to do the research on this one. Pretty expensive at $1,800+. Still, I could see using a OQO as a car navigation aid using a USB GPS antenna, for mobile email/web communications using a USB cable to a EV-DO enabled phone, a video/music player using iTunes, and so on.

Nope, but my boss is getting me a Nokia 770... everything I want in a handheld. Open platform, easy to port existing Linux apps to, etc.
