OQO with HSDPA and SSD in Australia

I’ve been blessed more often than I care to remember with great devices, by great manufacturers. I’ve had several “first of” in the World but I am afraid none of them (maybe the HTC Shift comes close) were as exciting as this. Obviously I am ont first in the world but first in Australia/New Zealand is good enough for me given that’s where I spend my time.

Given that I have decided NOT to use a HTC Shift as my primary device then this delivery by the FedEX man is e2xcellent! LOL. The OQO e2 has been my favorite UMPC for some time but now with the addition of a 32GB Solid State Disk (SSD) and HSDPA (3G) I am a total convert.

Today, arriving ahead of schedule I might add, I received my OQO e2 and yes it is the SSD model, yes it has HSDPA, and as I like it…it is the Vista Business!!! So stay tuned while I get to know her this weekend and feedback on my thoughts. For now I can tell you that the 1.6GHz (improvement over the 1.5 GHz) VIA processor, and SSD combo, is noticeably faster than my previous 02.

I’m in geek eutopia!

HSDPA SSD OQO doing its thing

...with Mr. 02 watching nervously!

NB. I know many of you will ask so here is why I did not go for the Shift:

• Battery life in Vista POOR
• There is no way to communicate between Windows Mobile 6 and Vista, i.e. when my emails come in, and get replied to, on WM6 the process does not get duplicated on Windows Vista. POOR.
• The device is portable but I am starting to believe that these bigger devices struggle to be considered mobile…(thoughts???)

There’s more but I will leave it for another post.

Long Zheng on Vista

It seems that since I sold Long Zheng his first ever Tablet PC, a Toshiba M400, hes really picked up the ball and ran with it. First came his video review, and now his Vista wrap-up via pictures and video.

To you give you an understanding as to how much attention this 18yr old University Student has garnered check this out:

• James Kendrick said
• Frank Arrigo said
• ZDNET said
• 644 Diggs
• Tech meme said

Jump onto his site, everyone else has, and checkout these great screens shots and screencasts. I’d hate to steel his thunder but it was me that sold him the Tablet, motivated him to keep blogging, answered all his late night queries, and evangelized Tablet to him…he did the rest!

Life at 5 feeling pretty good

I know it has been a while between posts but I have been overwhelmed with work commitments, family commitments, fun commitments, and to top it off the migration of my life onto the OQO 02 took a bigger toll than I initially expected.

So without delay it is my absolute pleasure to announce that I am 100% fulltime OQO-ing! As this picture might suggest I have solved the screen size issue, I have found several preferred input methods and my Internet connectivity is near perfect.

23" running Outlook and Blog,

5" runnning OneNote and Messenger

Here is what I am running on the OQO currently:

• Windows XP Tablet PC Edition (manual installation as I had bought the XP Pro version
• Office 2007 Ultimate Edition (I love that name)
• MYOB v.12 (Accounting Software)Adobe Photoshop 8.0 with Image Ready
• Castblaster
• and several other mandatory apps

I plan to install:

• Cyberlink PowerDirector
• Tablet Enhancements for Outlook
• Minjet Mind Manager
• And more

It feels like I have turned a corner in my mobility and it might be really hard to turn back. Today I answered emails while watching my son at Swimming Training - not impressive to some of you I know - but I also caught up on some YouTube, I finished of a PowerPoint Presentation for tomorrow, and, I reviewed and amended a Pricelist using Excel.

Let me know your questions I will do what I can to answer them via video, photos and text throughout the next few weeks. Tomorrow I am on a plane to Melbourne for the day and plan to give my new Mr. Mobility persona a good run for its money. With my Dopod 838pro (in my left blazer pocket) and my OQO 02 Best (in my right blazer pocket) mobility has never been so literal.

Honorable Mentions

*Update 6am 4th April 2007* Rob Bushway of GottaBeMobile was also been reawarded on April Fools Day! Congratulations Rob, I didnt intentionally miss you off the list, I only just saw that you had been reawarded. Well deserved I might add!

So it’s MVP time again! This time I am very excited as not only am I a veteran now (LOL) but I have now been joined by the most wonderful newcomers to the MVP community. Here are some of the newbies.

In Australia:

• Paul Stovell : MVP - Visual Client Application Development
• Grant Holliday : Im a MVP in Visual Developer - Team System

I had the pleasure of helping these guys buy Tablet PCs (Fujitsu T4215s) and converting them to proper computing. They are full of energy absolute nerds legends.

In America:

• Kevin C Tofel : Congratulations to Kevin on his MVPhood
• Dennis Rice: GottaBeMobile

I have been a great fan of Kevin’s and followed his videos with much interest. He is energetic, cool, enthusiastic and passionate (sounds like me). Congratulations mate! With Dennis this is not an event as much as it might be a re-event. He has been re-awarded this year which should come as no surprise to anyone that reads/knows him!

Surely there were countless others but this is my shortlist of awardees that I felt deserved an honorable mention! They are my friends and well worth every bit of ink, text and touch that they offer. Shame they had to be awarded on April Fool’s Day however...probably made their morning and little ambiguous.
