AdvantageSix Promises a Tiny ARM-based Computer

Posted by timothy on from the that-looks-tasty dept.

oberondarksoul writes "Drobe, one of the leading RISC OS news websites, is reporting that AdvantageSix have displayed an in-development version of their forthcoming A9home system. Running on a 400MHz Samsung ARM9 processor, and measuring approximately 6.6x4x2 inches, this ought to be a cheap -- and reasonably powerful -- RISC OS-based alternative to small form factor PCs or the Mac mini."

    The processor seems to be rather large. This kind of measurements have lately been seen in adult industry, not in home electronics.

    ;) the price is in GBP and the mesurements are in imperial (used in the UK) So i think your USA stab is a bit off
