With the release of the iPhone I started to wonder -

 

Has anyone tried installing OSX on an OQO model 02? I realize these are outfitted with VIA C7M CPUs but perhaps there is a workaround to make this chip functional? I believe this ASUS R2H install dealt with the very same VIA CPU.

 

Given the OQO is over 2.5 times the cost of an iPhone, this device would arguably be a great deal more functional and supersede most of the iPhone's limitations. For one thing, phone calls could be made much more cheaply via an EV-DO network subscription using skype rather than being locked into a crappy 2-year deal with at&t, not to mention the much faster internet connection. Secondly, the unit could actually be used as a computer/content creation device rather than simply a mobile phone/music player.
