OQO Adds WiMax and 64GB SSD

"We love OQO, and we love their readiness for the next big thing. They think it’s WiMax this time around, and while we do somewhat agree, we’d have loved for real U.S. HSDPA support instead of a technology that may or not take off, and isn’t even available for a good calendar year or two. Nevertheless, we’re bringin’ you the news, and OQO is demonstrating a WiMax-certified OQO 02 model at CES."



Hot on the heels of the non-US HSDPA configured OQO O2 comes a new version with WiMax, 64GB SSD and a reflective screen that can be read in daylight. Unfortunately, all these technological advancements come at a price which BGR forgot to mention - would you believe an extra $2k on top of the regular price of the standard model 8O? Most of that price difference (about $800 worth) comes from the addition of the SSD. I do agree that adding WiMax support might be a little questionable, unless they intend this purely for European and Asian markets - the EVDO version already does a pretty good job stateside, unless you're hot for a version that will run on AT&T or T-Mobile networks. I still can't get over the price difference though.
