Yup, like I said, this version is doomed to failure. But someone's gotta be first. It's unlikely that this small company will have the resources to follow up quickly with a more functional, more affordable version. If they're smart and lucky, they'll draw up the plans and then get bought up by one of the larger companies (Dell, IBM, Apple, maybe even Microsoft). If they're unlucky, one of those larger companies will beat them to it and use the commodity market to undercut their price and over-match their features, dooming oqo to a penniless footnote.
