I do hope it does get even a small performance boot though. The other device I am interested in is the Digifriends one. The accessories look awesome and hopefully they won't all cost an arm and a leg. I am pumped for the Wibrain i1. I do hope it does get even a small performance boot though.

However, all the blogs I've read have treated this as an impending product announcement. Is there confirmation from an OQO official at IDF that the next OQO will use Atom? Or do we just have this device on stage? [As an aside, given OQO's penchant for shipping their devices with Vista, I hope it's not an 800MHz Atom inside that Model 02. I doubt that would work well.] Dennis Moore said at OQOTalk, the device they have at IDF is a “technology showcase, not an impending product announcement.” However, all the blogs I’ve read have treated this as an impending product announcement.
