Japanese Pocket-Size PC Cube Demonstrated

Posted by simoniker on from the sharp-edges-the-new-rock-n-roll dept.

rocketjam writes "The Japanese company, Personal Media Corporation, has demonstrated a prototype of a cube-shaped pocket-sized computer called the T-Cube (tentative name). The T-Cube runs the T-Engine OS, an operating system apparently being developed by a consortium of Asian companies for embedded devices and networked computers. The machine is about the size of an orange, uses a CPU made by NEC and sports a desktop written for the Chinese Market supporting Multi- and Super-Chinese Character sets. It is scheduled to ship in Q1 of 2004."

    That's some pocket computer. Excuse me, but is that a PMC T-Cube in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?

    If it's going to be a pocket computer, why can't they shape it like a bratwurst?
