News In Brief

Shirt-pocket PC: The 9-ounce OQO Ultra-Personal Computer--about the size of a deck of playing cards--is a full-blown Windows XP Pro PC with a 1-GHz Transmeta Crusoe chip, a 4-inch LCD monitor, 256MB of RAM, a 10GB hard drive, IEEE 1394 and USB ports, and built-in 802.11b and Bluetooth wireless adapters. OQO hopes to license the design to a major PC vendor in time to ship for the 2002 holiday season.

Duo of Treos: Handspring's hot Treo 180 has a pair of color siblings. The Treo 270, like its predecessor, is a Palm organizer and a GSM (and GPRS-ready) phone; expect to pay around $599 with a service plan. The $299 Treo 90, with no integrated wireless capability, is slightly thinner and lighter than the others. The new Treos will be available only with keyboards: Handspring says keyboard-equipped Treo 180s far outsell the Graffiti-based Treo 180g.

Fast and Cheap: Samsung's new ML-1430 is a fast and unusually affordable laser printer. The company rates the $199 unit's print speed at 15 pages per minute--3 ppm faster than its popular ML-1210 model.
