The OQO Version 2.5#

Well - not really, but this tickled me.  Ken Hinckley has created a paper cutout of an OQO Model 2 that you can download and print to make your own paper OQO Model 2.

The man wants an OQO Model 02 so badly that he has created an OQO Model 02 origami and is now carrying it around with him, pretending it is real.

Ok...

You can download the Model 02  origami here.

Now I will admit here that while I admire the engineering I am personally not  a big fan of the OQO Model 2.  It is not a bad device, more of a personal preferences thing.  I just find the screen too physically small.  For me I would rather carry a slightly larger device and have more room to write.  If the screen size does not bother you then there is much to like about the OQO, but for me it is just not usable for how I work.  I do share Ken's bias to active digitisers over touch-screens, I just want more room to work.  (If only Motion would refresh the LS800 line as that was a great device.)

With that in mind you might understand why my first thought here was "wow, all the usability of the real OQO at a fraction of the price!"
