Hand-Sized Antelope Windows PC To Debut

Posted by simoniker on from the much-easier-to-lose dept.

securitas writes "CNet's Michael Kanellos reports on start-up Antelope Technologies' plans to launch its Modular Computing Core (MCC) next week. The 'full-fledged Windows [XP] computer that measures 3 inches by 5 inches' is based on the IBM Meta Pad, which Antelope Technologies licensed from IBM. Priced at $3,970, it's expected that the MCC will be primarily for corporate fleets, where mobility is a requirement. Antelope's MCC was previously mentioned on Slashdot, and it seems that the company has beat competitor OQO to real product status. Will the Nimbel V5 be next?"

    yet another windows handheld pc... sounds fun, but there's no way you're getting me on windows - especially for 4G's... couldn't you buy around 8 Zauri for that much loot? imagine a beowulf clust... sorry.

    I thought they said "Antelope Sized Handhelds with Windows to Debut". "Way to innovate" is what I thought... But oh well, I was wrong. ;P

    At first i thought it just said Hand Sized Antelope, and was wondering why there wasn't the bio-tech icon, thinking they'd engineered/bred a housepet sized antelope. 1000TH POST!!! W00T!!!
