\nA friend emailed me about an interesting alternative to PDAs for genealogy that’s been around for a while – the model 01+<\/a> from oqo<\/a>. This is a fully functioning Windows XP computer that is small (probably the smallest that has a built-in keyboard). For some genealogists, having all of the tools they normally work in this small of a package would be interesting.\n <\/td>\n\n \"model<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

The price is very steep (although ebay may have some for less):
\n* $1499 USD for the base model – 1 GHz processor, 20GB HD, and 256MB RAM.
\n* $1899 USD for the Plus edition – 1 GHz processor, 30GB HD, 512MB RAM.<\/p>\n\n\n
\nPros:<\/strong>
\n– 5-inch, 800×480 indoor\/outdoor LCD Display (that doubles as input – it’s a touchscreen)
\n– Runs Windows XP
\n– 20GB+ Harddrive
\n– Integrated Wireless (WiFi, Firewire, USB
\n– Just less than an inch thick, and 4.9 inches long by 3.4 inches wide and weighs just 14 ounces (not bad for a Windows XP computer).
\n– Slide-down keyboard\n <\/td>\n		\nCons:<\/strong>
\n– Price
\n– Battery life is not that great compared to a PDA.
\n– According to the reviews, the bootup is a little slow
\n– May run warm\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n
