With everyone talking about it I just had to see it. So I went to Service
Merchandice and saw the ogo 120 and it was interesting. For one thing HP
seems to have been listening about the complants about the screen it appears
that the new ones have NOT a backlite but a reflective serface with a green
tint to it let me tell you it improves the readability a great deal and makes
it much brighter. Also the on system apps have been expanded Pocket Quicken
is now on board no doubt because of the many complaints that with out a
memory card it was unusable.
ALSO last (that I saw) but not least it seems they have a expanded i/o
capabilities that is Clip and GO seems to be built into the ROM I am not sure
how this is done as I think SM would draw the line at letting me take it home.
But the sales man was nice to let me study it for about 30 min.
That is my report substancial improvments but no more memory still 1 meg and
still no provitions (that I saw) for external power.
