I hope its not the size of your foot, or arm... :shadedshu
The impression I get from this product is more of something to integrate into a system or part of something else, so think of a car GPS, a computer controlled house, a portable DVD player, a cheap tablet PC, that kind of thing. Not so much a stand alone unit as a laptop or cell phone replacement.
Nah its not as big as your arm, but then again maybe you could have really small arms.
If ANYTHING, I need to start a business selling zoom-magnifying-reading-glasses FTW.
Pictures tell a thousand words.
You could have put the pictures in yourself. But didnt. I came and helped out so people could see what it was all about. I used the "quickest" approach.
The "watermark" is INTEL DEVELOPER FORUM. These are press release pictures. DONT GET UPPITY wasting everybody's time with "ethics" nonesense when it's not relevant (in this situation).
I'm seeing this as more of a touchscreen terminal than anything... universal remote, cordless keyboard, oh the possibilities.
If done right, it could be a little cordless box you can program for anything - movie playback, remote control of other systems, cordless keyboard/mouse replacement (for another PC), etc
Take the PSP and quadruple the power. That's just one possible example.
Should sell pretty well if the price is low enough, add a few games etc..
Say goodbye PSP
kthnxbye.
Or Lela from Futurama.
Also, does anyone know what the font is being used on that thing?
