Spotlight On Windows-Powered Gadgets And Gizmos

Posted by timothy on from the door-ajar-detectors dept.

An anonymous reader writes "WindowsForDevices has published a big article showcasing seventy-three consumer devices that were on display in Microsoft's device expo at the recent Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Each device runs Windows CE, Windows Mobile (Pocket PC, Smartphone, etc.), or Windows XP Embedded. A photo and brief description are provided for each. Some cool stuff!"

  1. /. works for MS! by AstroDrabb · · Score: 2, Offtopic
    Seriously, I posted a little while ago about a new Linux based Mulimedia PC from InterVideo and it got rejected, yet a topic about MS and their evil ways gets through?

    Intervideo is the company that makes WinDVD, InterVideo Home Theater, and a bunch of others. The story is at New Scientist. Basically it is an "InstantOn" PC with LinDVD (which is developed by InterVideo) that fits on a read-only memory chip. Linux handles TV, DVD, CD, MP3, radio. The twist to this product is that it also has a bootable MS Windows XP OS so you can run any of the MS Windows app that you still want/need.

    /. has turned to the dark side and I am running for my tinfoil hat!
