No need to fight with your girlfriend/wife, brother/sister over the PC anymore. The OQO is out, not only designed for gaming on the go, but for everything on the go. However, for addicted World of Warcraft gamers, it's the perfect gaming tool supporting even Microsoft's next-generation operating system, Windows Vista.

The OQO is a PC roughly the size of the PSP, allowing you to do whatever you like, wherever you are. You can even play Blizzard's MMO game, WoW, anywhere, as the OQO is equipped with an internal cellular modem so you can access the online world of Azeroth as long as you have a cell signal, Evil Avatar reports. There's absolutely no need to find a Wi-Fi hot spot. Now I've got your attention, haven't I?

Here are some of the most impressive specs I've seen and heard for a Pocket PC:

There's absolutely no need to find a Wi-Fi hot spot. Now I've got your attention, haven't I?

Here are some of the most impressive specs I've seen and heard for a Pocket PC:

- the OQO weighs only one pound (450 grams)
- the model 02 features innovations including 5" sliding WVGA LCD screen, integrated thumb keyboard and track stick, with capacitive TouchScrollers
- 1.5GHz CPU, 60GB HDD, and 1GB RAM, with the model 02r supporting Microsoft's next generation operating system, Windows Vista
- the model 02 also delivers extended and uncompromised access to the internet, email and business applications with a built-in EV-DO WWAN option.

For pricing and added/lacking features on each of the two OQO models you'll have to check out the official site for yourself. As it's a new kid on the block, things may change from one day to the next and I don't want to start re-editing my article tomorrow. You can buy it right away if you want to and to show you that we didn't mention WoW as a very suitable app for the hardware, you have some gameplay footage below. Enjoy!
