The Ogo is gone for good

Cingular OGO

The writing was already on the wall for this one: Cingular's confirming that the Ogo is over. The data-only handheld messaging device never really caught on in the first place, and was all but orphaned after the the company's merger with AT&T Wireless, which had originally introduced the device last year, but it wasn't until yesterday that Cingular finally made the Ogo's obsolescence official, issuing a statement about how it didn't fit into the company's current "handset strategy." They'll still service the ones they've already sold, but otherwise, it's dead.
