AT&T Wireless' ogo is a go go

Not to be confused with the OQO, the
Ojo, or the
OKO, AT&T Wireless is getting ready to unleash the ogo, a clamshell-style mobile communicator with a mini QWERTY keyboard. It feels an awful lot like it's their response to the Sidekick 2 (only without the built-in cellphone or digital camera) but the trained eye sees they're really more closely targeting Motorola's IMfree. The ogo is pretty much just for doing instant messaging (AIM, MSN, and Yahoo come pre-installed), SMS text messaging, and email, plus it uses use IXI Mobile's Bluetooth-based Personal Mobile Gateway technology if you have a hankering for hooking the ogo up to other gadgets. The best part though? Service will be cheap, just fifteen bucks a month for current AT&T Wireless customers (read: just in reach of all those teens who want to break free of the shackles of T9 texting).
