Crusoe processor running Windows XP, with 256MB of RAM (random access memory), a 20GB hard drive platter that attaches to the bottom of the device and a 5-inch wide TFT LCD (liquid crystal display) screen.A button located in the middle of the 57-key thumb keyboard operates as the mouse. A wheel on the side panel of the computer scrolls the screen. The screen can slide over the keyboard, and a bundled digital pen can convert the computer into a PDA (personal digital assistant).It also has a USB (Universal Serial Bus) 1.1 port, a FireWire port, integrated 802.11b networking and Bluetooth. A docking cable that comes with the computer has a 3-D video card, an Ethernet port and additional USB and FireWire ports.It runs a lithium polymer battery and can run for between two and six hours on a single charge, depending on the application being run, said Popell. The product will be available starting in the third quarter of 2004 through San Francisco-based OQO’s Web site. The company could not provide an estimated price.
