...put reflective TFTs in web pads and laptops? Don't they save a lot more power than normal LCDs? Also, LCDs are really hard to see in sunlight. What does this device use? It says it uses a TFT, but is it the reflective kind?
I tried posting this earlier but my ISP was having some difficulties with/.
Take a look at this:
Macromedia Flash is a structured vector based web content player. It has the ability to display quite a few 2D alpha rendered polygons from a low bandwidth connection.
Nancy is a codec that takes 1x1 to 32x32 polygon shapes and encodes them into polygon data. To decode this data it just renders the polygons and blends them to create the movie.
So consider this. Wouldn't it be possible to use a Nancy encoder to embed fast 30 fps full-motion color videos into Flash that would still run on Joe Modem's 56k? Most "embedded Flash movies" today are black and white sihlouettes and color ones need connections much higher than 256 kbit/s just to view at a normal rate. This technology would not just only be good for cell phones, PDAs, and other portable devices because the desktop could use this too.
Doesn't that look like a normal DVD-ROM and a normal harddisk? That leaves a lot of possibilities.
You can upgrade the DVD-ROM drive and make load times faster.
You can upgrade the harddisk drive when it gets full.
Whatever copy-protection mechanism the XBox has can be broken easier since it uses standard PC parts.
The possibilites go on and on...
Looks like a hacker's picnic to me. =) Also, look how much room is in that thing. They could of at least added a PCMCIA slot or something.

Whoa, taco trolls better than most of the trolls here.

At DVD-size of ~2.5 gigabytes per movie
~4.5 gigabytes =) (fight club was 7.38 gigabytes)

...to produce one of these ARM cores? I'm sure students don't have access to full size wafer fabs so I am curious.
Slightly more on topic, it almost sounds like ARM wants to hire Shen by how they said "he's a very bright chap, so we want to talk to him."
