Sony has a faster processer, but is thicker. The keys on the Sony are flatter and more prone for error. However the fans on the Sony are quieter.

The OQO as a much better docking station than the Sony. The docking station is foldable and has a built in cd/dvd player. Sony has yet to release a optical drive for it. The OQO has a additional battery options coupled with a separate charger. Sony has none. The OQO had some specialy protective cases made for transport protection, Sony has none. All in all, just more options and accessories. Oh I also like the option for having tablet pc software on it.

Oh yeah sony's memory isn't upgradeable (max 512mb). Sony also comes with a bunch of bullcrap preloaded applications that I would remove.

Oh yeah, and if you look at the OQO it has a mouse built into the keyboard interface. Sony doesn't and there's a number pad on the OQO. Like my pda/phone, the numbers located on the top row of the keyboard like a conventional one blows chunks.

i'm cheap...but i'll buy one.

Ouch. 1849 for the top end one? No thanks. My laptop will do just fine.
