What A Portable Media Center Might Look Like

An anonymous reader writes "From the Redmond's answer to iPOD dept... While wandering the exhibitor aisles at Embedded DevCon, we were drawn to this slick looking reference design board in the Freescale (formerly Motorola Semiconductor) booth. The Portable Media Player Reference Design, a.k.a. "Jazz", is based on a Freescale i.MX21 embedded processor, runs Windows CE, and is compliant with Microsoft's Portable Media Center (PMC) standard. PMCs, Microsoft's answer to the iPOD, will initially support digital music and videos, digitally recorded television shows, and digital photos."

I've got a Portable Media Center right HERE! by AKAImBatman · 2004-07-01 09:17 · Score: 1, Flamebait

...it starts with an 'i' and is about the size of a 'note'book. Highly portable, 4 hour battery life, runs OS X, and can even interface with the Internet and an iPod! Screw Microsoft. What more could you want out of a PMC?

If you don't know what preemptive multitasking is, please stop reading slashdot.

There are plenty of sites geared towards computing newbies and wannabe's.

Thanks.

Oh, btw, real-time is more correct than "realtime" which isn't even a word. "Real time" would be preferable.
