My 5" Day and a plane

This post has been prepared throughout my working day using nothing but my OQO 02 with Dopod 838 pro for connectivity. I am not preaching or teaching; only telling you how I use my OQO. It is my desktop, notebook and Mobile PC. So far so good.

• 6:00 am – wake and check email (docked and connected to Ethernet)
• 7:00 am – reply to emails and read comments on blog (still docked)
• 8:05 am – show me boarding pass to the front counter and ask for a print out.
• 8:11 am - check emails at the airport and reply to three emails urgently
• 8:16 am – finish a conversation with one of my blog readers (using ink on Messenger)
• 9:04 am – on flight DJ822 heading to Melbourne typing this
• 9:11am – read an interview, in the Virgin Blue Magazine, of Toshiba General Manager Mark Whitttard. Quote: “I think eventually the keyboard will disappear and forms of input will be handwriting and voice. We see that in maybe five years’ time there will be flat, slate-style products without keyboards that will be very portable and compact. We actually have a prototype that folds up – imagine an A4 sheet of paper and fold it into thirds as if you’re putting it in an envelope to mail it. We’ve developed some very flexible LCD screen technologies.”
  WOW…straight from the horses mouth! Maybe true Origami is et to come!
• 9:40 am – finished preparing my PowerPoint Presentation (titled: UMPC, past – present – future)
• 9:42am – remembered that I needed a background image for the PowerPoint so I fired up Photoshop and created a quick JPEG. (still on the plane)
• 11am – arrived at Melbourne CBD checked emails and replied to three urgent emails. Met a friend for coffee and reviewed my PowerPoint presentation.
• 11:55am – transferred the PowerPoint presentation from me OQO, via USB memory stick, and sat in a meeting taking notes on OneNote.
• 12:20pm – dropped the standard battery and popped in the extended.
• 2pm – went back into meetings and kept taking (OneNote)
• 2:10 pm – went to lunch and came back to check/answer emails. Read blog comments (favourite part of the day) and watched some YouTube.
• 3:00pm to 5pm – met with Victoria Government and talked UMPC. Answered more email. Entered notes. Updated contact details and used Outlook Instant Search to find some attachments I referenced in the meeting (spontaneously).
• 5:45pm to 6:42pm – sat at the Virgin Blue lounge and answered emails, replied to readers on my blog, answered more emails, made more phone calls and took more notes on OneNote. All connected to wifi this time.
• Now – heading to catch my plane and on my way home. Yeah!
