OQO Not Dead Yet, Shows Up In First Retail Location

by Josh Goldman on November 7, 2006

RCS Experience in New York City. According to the press release “RCS Experience is renowned for its merchandising expertise in creating environments that demonstrate how “devices” will interact with each other.” I’ve never been to the store, but the picture on the Web site makes it look cool and happening, so maybe a trip is in order. Besides, I do love going into electronics stores and making the staff say stupid things.

Actually, it’s not the first time the OQO hit retail shelves. A store called Escape, owned by Best Buy and operating in Chicago has had the OQO on their shelves since at least earlier this year. It was my first experience with the device.

I’m a few blocks from RCS now and go there on occasion to look, but never to buy. They are one of those stores that price things at double the reasonable price, and then the salesman will tell you he can get you 50% off “for you, because you look like an educated consumer” or some such nonesense. It’s too bad, because they typically have really hot stuff there.
