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."

    Is that an orange in your pocket or are you just glad to see me? But on a more serious note, I'd like to see this with a cleverly built-in LCD screen to make it a truly independent unit.

    Looks like a mini gamecube.

    God, I love mini machines

    I guess the web server, running on a 250 T-cube beowulf cluster mind you, couldn't stand up to the throngs of slashdotters.
