With the release of the iPhone (and its steep pricetag that has caused some people to take up begging), the ability to take your content with you is being advertised like crazy. I personally think the OQO Model 2 is a great way to bring your content with you, but it costs over $2,000 dollars. Oh well. One thing to remember about video on the go: remember to back up that iTunes content or ripped movies. [...] [...] This week’s version of the Weekly Round-up focuses on portable video.

The model 02, which is less than 6 inches wide and 1 inch thick, was recently shown running World of Warcraft at VIAArena.com. This is an impressive feat for such a small computer. The game did look slightly choppy but that might be more of a factor of the internet connection used in the video. The OQO has the potential to be a great portable media center and this video shows what the unit is capable of doing. Check out the video below.

The Model 2 is loaded with features like a USB 2.0 port and a HDMI-out. These features got me excited about the potential of the Model 2 as a HD Tivo since Window’s Media Center is built into Vista. However, after e-mailing OQO’s tech support, I was informed that the OQO Model 2’s processor is not powerful enough for HD content.
