Jonathan Bray from TrustedReviews just posted this in-depth review of the OQO model 02 UMPC. OQO got high marks for usability, but the integrated graphics on the model 02 got called out. They wrote:
It all results in perfectly acceptable levels of performance when running office applications and the whole system seems to run much quicker and cooler than the old model. But there is a caveat: the graphics chipset – VIA's integrated S3G UniChrome graphics with shared memory – isn't particularly powerful. In fact it isn't even capable of displaying Vista's Aero graphics, so no fancy transparent glass windows and it definitely won't put up with any 3D gaming.
Which I've got to take issue with. We've got all kinds of video evidence to prove that you can do some 3D gaming. It may not be all the most recent games, but a lot of very popular games can be played on the OQO model 02. Overall TrustedReviews gave the OQO a very positive rating, mainly citing great usability and general feel of the device.

I've been searching for the $600 ticket price that Emgadget used in comparing it with the Eee UMPC. Unfortunately, I can find nothing less than twice that price! Does anyone know where to buy it at the $600 price tag?
Thanks,
