For those who don’t mind a heaping side of bankruptcy with their discontinued device, you can get an OQO Model 02 for $152.02 from Micro Center. Seriously. That’s like a month’s worth of gas (or one fill-up if you drive an SUV). Compare this price against the original price of over $2000 ! So who’s going for it?
