Tiny PC

at 5:58 am. Filed under Cool Gadgets

I can think of so many applications where a tiny PC like this one could be used for.

“The picotux 100 is the world’s smallest Linux computer, only slightly larger (35mm×19mm×19mm) than an RJ45 connector. Inside, there is an ARM7 CPU at 55 MHz running uClinux kernel 2.4.27 and Busybox 1.0. Two communication interfaces are provided, 10/100 Mbit half/full duplex Ethernet and a serial port with up to 230.400 baud. Five additional lines can be used for either general input/output or serial handshaking.”

    This is a electronic engineers dream: Small and powerful. Maybe the price could be better, but its ok so far.
    But when does the Windows version will be released? *G*
    (I’ve never engaged with Linux)

    ben: Sorry, it couldn’t run Windows. And if it could, it’d cost thousands.

    But yeah, the price is a bit ridiculous. Maybe once they get the production ball rolling, it’ll come down.

    I was just kidding about using Windows with it..
    The main problem would not be the licensing but the store capacity. I can see the advertising for this module:
    “Tiny PC comes with preinstalled 10GB HDD to run the OS” :-)

    I think this is great. Imagine all the smart home automation you could do with one of these guys.
