HagakiPC - "Postcard" PC

Posted by timothy on from the smallness dept.

captainJam writes "The HagakiPC, Hagaki meaning postcard in Japanese, is a tiny PC with dimensions of 135 x 109 x 18mm and weighing in at 340g making it by far the lightest and 2nd slimmest handtop. Only 128MB RAM and a 640x480 VGA screen, plus there's no hard drive -- it's meant to run OS's from CF cards (great for D.S.L. and the like). Still only a prototype, so not much info is available, but what we do know (and a few photos) are here." Update: 09/01 12:14 GMT by T : Link to D.S.L. upgraded to a form that doesn't make some browsers choke.

    This CPU is capable of TV out, video in and has Macrovision copy protection built in.

    Built-in Macrovision? Sign me up!

    It's got Macrovision built in! I told myself long ago I would not buy another computer until I could finally get one with video copy protection on board. That RULES.

    The manufacturer is Mitsuishi. URL is http://www.hagakipc.jp. Pricing for 64MB & 128MB variants to be announced; power consumption is 4W. I hesitate (momentarily) to post the next link, but Mitsuishi's also got a page at Geocities, so we're not talking multinational corporations here.

    Its previous hardware product from Jan 2003 was a fan.
