Engadget ran a story about an OQO / Palm phone rip-off on Sat. Its an interesting mix of brands. I’m not sure why the Chinese think that the OQO brand is going to play a positive effect in the phone sector!

We checked with OQO just to make sure they know about this and as expected…"these are not our products and the manufacturer is not authorised by or affiliated with OQO in any way."

Something is up here. Something exciting perhaps. Either someone had a bit too much love for OQO’s ID when they hashed together a design for Nvidia’s computex webpage or OQO are indeed going to use their industrial design skills to release an ARM-based MID. Oh the mind boggles. Android? Windows Mobile 7?

The OQO ultra mobile PC design is one of the best there is. Beautiful engineering. Near perfect keyboard. I’d be extremely happy to see OQO screw up all definitions of a ultra mobile PC and release this as a MID.

I’ll be trying to confirm a yay or neh in the next 30 minutes.

Update: Nvidia seem to be showcasing quite a lot of other peoples designs!

Update2: ARM issued a press release saying that Nvidia Tegra is ARM11MPCore (up to 4 cores.) Could be interesting in a handheld for browsing, audio and telephony.

I was of the understanding that Leopard  wouldn’t run on VIA but maybe I’m wrong. Either that or this is a nice little remote-desktop scam!

The Leopard install is legitimate and works quite well.  However, I am still working on two final issues which are video resolution, presently limited to 800×480, and wwan which I have not yet attempted.  Sound, wifi, power management, and usb are working fine and the system is very responsive.

I don’t know what to say at this point. Take a look at the video and make your own mind up about it. Real or Not?
