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."

    What is a "Super Chinese" character set? The main link goes to a machine translated article that makes for good post-modern poetry, but I don't have a clue why Super Chinese is better than internationally standard character sets. Does it bound tall monitors in a single scroll wheel flick or what?

    > So I'm not the average Anglophonic snob

    People like to slam American because they only know english, and frankly I am getting tired of it. Do you know how much learning another language would help me? Very little, see American is a pretty big place, and everyone(almost) speaks English.
    So the investment in time for most Americans to learn a language doesn't pay off. And even if I did what language should I learn?
    Spanish maybe, but every other language is a crapshoot.
    So lay off the "American are arrogant and stupid because they only know one languag" statements.
