What do you expect him to say?

Exactly what I meant! Why showcase technology by a competing chip manufacturer to the one you use, and at the same time have no interest in releasing that product onto the general market!! In regards to power consumption and noise polution, yes the Atom is a better proposition :-) “Obviously they wouldn’t have showcased the OQO with the Nano at an Intel event would they?”

While the Nano can in theory be quickly adapted to run on the existing Model 02, it isn't anywhere near as efficient or optimised for low power operation like the Atom. OQO choose Transmeta in the Model 01 and realised that it was a mistake and decided not to use the Efficeon in the 02. I think they've also realised that Via CPUs are not as good as the marketing drivel claims it to be and will most likely jump on the Intel bandwagon. The Model 02s sound like a hair dryer and still run quite hot. Obviously they wouldn’t have showcased the OQO with the Nano at an Intel event would they? :)

What I would read from OQO's response is that the OQO3 will use the Intel Atom but that it's chassis will be redesigned (and submitted to the FCC) before a product is announced.

Why showcase the OQO with Atom technoly, which you have no intention of using!?! All very 'Self Sabotagey' if you ask me! So why did they not showcase the OQO with the VIA Nano?
