New Delhi September 11, 2007 – Innovative Personal Computer maker OQO is the first manufacturer to power its latest award winning Ultra Mobile Personal Computer (UMPC) model Q2 with the 1.6GHz VIA C7-M ULV processor.

The OQO Model 2 measures 5.6 x 3.3 x 1.0in (142 x 84 x 25mm) and weighs less than 1lb (less than 450g). The higher-speed processor in this update of the OQO model 02 – the world’s smallest full-featured Windows Vista® PC – further increases the device’s performance and thus enables mobile professionals to enhance their anytime/anywhere productivity.

In addition to a faster processor, the OQO model 02 update now also features configurations with options such as support for the super fast “EVDO Rev. A” high-speed wireless transmission standard, which delivers data rates of up to 1.4Mbps, improved upstream speed and lower latency. The update also offers enhanced storage capacity of up to 120GB, and an SSD (solid state drive) option is also available.

“We are delighted that OQO has adopted our 1.6GHz VIA C7-M ULV processor for their model 02 computer,” commented Richard Brown, Vice President of Corporate Marketing, VIA Technologies, Inc. “This provides further evidence of our leadership in developing cutting-edge platforms for the rapidly growing UMD market.”

“We have once again extended the performance envelope of ultra mobile computing,” said Bob Rosin, senior vice president of marketing & alliances, OQO. “With its faster CPU, increased hard drive capacities, SSD option and improved wireless capability, the new model 02 is the ultimate device for mobile professionals who want access to all their information, applications and the Internet wherever they go.”
