OQO is gone

By Paul Biba

However, I never bought one, even when the price dropped, because I could never really find a use that would justify the price.

Well it seems that this is what everybody else felt as well. While their website is still up TechCrunch is reporting:

OQO has ceased operations, turned off its phones, and is no longer accepting repairs. Quoth OQOTalk:

“We are sad to report that due to financial constraints, OQO is not able to offer repair and service support at this time. We are deeply sorry that despite our best intentions, we are unable to provide continued support for our faithful customers. Please accept our sincerest apologies”
