Transmeta at Rockefeller Center - PCExpo 2002

There were three main Crusoe-based products which grabbed the most attention at the event. First and foremost was the OQO ultra personal computer. OQO, who wrote the book on how not to build a website entirely in flash have without a doubt the sexiest adaptation of a Crusoe processor - even if the realization is still a few quarters off. Next up is the newly announced official Transmeta reference platform for developers, but we'll get to that in a second. Thirdly we have the Gericom Crusoe-based notebook. It may be true that Sony, Toshiba, Fujitsu, and NEC have more pull with their subnotebooks, but Gericon has one of the fastest growing European notebook distribution channels. The Gericom A2 notebook (based on the IIyama NT310S notebook) with an 800MHz TM5800 Crusoe processor will be available by Q3:2002 for somewhere in the range of $1300USD (est).
