EVERUN, an OQO 2 Alternative?
Below I have listed the key comparative information for both devices.
OQO 2
Size = 142.2mm (L) x 83.8mm (W) x 25.4mm (D)
Screen Size = 5"
Weight = less than 1LB
OS = Windows XP Home (base model)
Process = 1.2GHz (base model)
HDD = 30GB (base model)
RAM = 512MB (base model)
Price = $1,499 USD (base model)
Raon Digital EVERUN
Size = 170mm (L) x 83mm (W) x 25mm (D)
Screen Size = 4.8"
Weight = 1.08LB
OS = Windows XP Home
Process = 600MHz
HDD = 30GB
RAM = 512MB
Price = $700 USD approx (expected retail price)
Based on the above there is very little between these 2 devices, with the exception of the CPU and keyboard position. If you are looking for something to act as a desktop replacement or need a more powerful CPU, then the OQO will win, but if you are looking for a portable companion then my money is on the EVERUN.

PDA Essentials UK Reviews the Vega
Things they liked about the Vega:
1. Size.
2. Battery life.
3. The d-pad.
4. Navigation buttons.
5. USB client mode.
Things they disliked about the Vega:
1. Lack of in-built Bluetooth and WiFi.
2. No in-built VGA out (although this is achieved via the supplied dongle).
All-in-all they liked the unit and said "it's more than suitable for office and email use, especially given the impressive battery life."
I have to say I agree with their findings, and the only other thing I would like to see on the Vega is a qwerty keypad.
I have scanned the review page which is available here.
The review unit was supplied by PocketPC Solutions, and is priced at £579.99, which the reviewer said was "not unappealing".

jkOnTheRun review: Raon Digital Vega
Sorry about the lack of posts
Sorry about the lack of posts on MyVega, but I have been busy working on a project. 2007 looks to be a great year for the UMPC market, and hopefully we will see some great things from Raon Digital and their Vega.
