OQO model 2 gets a solid-state harddrive

Remember, this UMPC has the power of a laptop, but fits in a jacket pocket. The big deal about an SSD, which is only 32GB at this point, is the lower power consumption. The battery on this thing doesn't last too long, so this should help some. Also, CPU specs are being bumped up and price is being brought down.
I would imagine that if they could get something like Intel's ultralow voltage chip, the battery would perform more respectably. But maybe that's negligible against the screen.
