Video: OQO hacked to run Leopard, now world's smallest Mac

While greeted with heaps of initial skepticism, forum jockeys over at OQO Talk now seem convinced that a junior member by the name of TRF has successfully hacked the OQO to run OS X Leopard. Adding a video filmed by Mr. Blurry Cam didn't hurt the cause. TRF's OQO is setup in a dual-boot Vista / OS X mode which boots Leopard in about 2 minutes and 30 seconds. WiFi, sound, power management and Bluetooth... it's all there with applications popping with serious snap. The only thing missing at the moment is WWAN access which TRF is now testing. While not yet a "plug and play" hack, it's "definitely doable," he says. Perhaps, but we'll need more details to say the least. Video excerpt posted after the break.

Whats even funnier is this news bit is featured on OQO's front home page.

Leopard is nice.

But, I'm happy running Mac OS 8 on my pocket sized Nokia 810.

How do you get the WiFi to work? I figured the rest out just need the WiFi part now.
Thanks

Odd, Has anyone else remembered that Mac commercial that said something to the effect of "The fastest XP machine is a Mac?"

..Well, The smallest Mac machine is an OQO. Eat your heart out, Apple.
