OQO Delivers World's First Ultra Mobile PC With Integrated Mobile Broadband Service Powered by Sprint

OQO model 02 Enables Extended Connectivity Via the Sprint Power Vision Network SM

January 7th, 2007

OQO Inc., leader of the UMPC market and creator of the world's smallest fully-functional Windows XP computer, today announced that OQO will be offering the new OQO model 02 computer with integrated mobile broadband capabilities via the Sprint Power Vision NetworkSM. Where available, the advanced Sprint mobile broadband network provides wireless high speed data services and covers more than 188 million people. The model 02's integrated mobile broadband technology means convenient, fast, and secure connectivity to the internet, email, and business applications for mobile professionals wherever Sprint has coverage.

The defining advantage to mobile broadband technology is that it doesn't require a wireless hotspot for connectivity. The combination of wireless broadband capability and the widely available Sprint network, together with the model 02's pocketable design and enterprise-class performance signals a monumental shift in the level of productivity that is now available to enterprise users, who can carry their model 02 when traveling and can be connected anytime.

IDC senior research analyst Richard Shim notes that "in the past, notebook computers haven't been convenient, portable, and connected enough to be easily accessible and useful. Connectivity technology is critical and is essentially a lifeline to data-the more connected users are, the more productive they can be. The emergence of new small, advanced and well-connected computing devices will change that."

"Our collaboration with OQO will allow customers to easily connect at high speeds without having to worry about finding hot spots or other ways to connect," said Danny Bowman, vice president of customer equipment for Sprint. "This partnership is an ideal way to leverage Sprint's powerful network and unmatched wireless capabilities."

"The Sprint Power Vision Network helps us fulfill our commitment to customers of making productivity possible anywhere and anytime. Sprint is a pioneer in wireless data services and many OQO users will already be Sprint customers," said Bob Rosin, OQO's senior vice president, marketing and alliances. "The broad availability of the Sprint Power Vision Network and its mobile broadband capabilities made Sprint a natural partner for us to meet the needs of our demanding and savvy customer base."

The new OQO model 02 ultra mobile PC is a full-featured Windows XP computer that gives mobile professionals the total productivity they need to fulfill their professional and personal requirements. In addition to integrated wireless broadband, the model 02's features include a 1.5GHz CPU, 1GB RAM, 802.11a/b/g, Bluetooth 2.0, an ergonomic backlit keyboard, and a rugged magnesium chassis with a shock-mounted hard drive and drop detect technology - all in the only truly mobile form factor in the industry.

The soon to be released OQO model 02 will be available at www.oqo.com/store, through OQO's enterprise sales team, and through channel partners. To be notified of product availability, please sign up at www.oqo.com.
