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."

    Get it here.
    Looks quite nice to me. Even an integrated ethernet port, audio... - nice, where can I get it? ;-)

    Alternatively, you could get a cerfcube,
    which *does* run linux, and is smaller.

    see:

    tcube site is slashdotted, but I suspect
    that the cerfcube consumes less power as
    well.
