the problem is, whenever u can access a pc monitor, sure u can find a CPU casing attached to it too, so why bother to hook up this dice to the monitor again? And it dont have TV out also, but i doubt its ability in even rendering a DVD encoded video.

for sure it cant get a seat in handheld portable computing market now, a PSP is much better, play browse watch all in one piece.

a PPC comes with nice OS onboard, comes with LCD and camera.

a PPC also comes with video-output (yes, DELL AXIM x51 has it)

and erm......IMO PPC is still more useful.

one thing is that it gets easily mistaken for a toy.

it's also easily stolen.

it's dimensions are not something suitable to put in your pocket or bag. sad.gif

i don't think it will be that expensive.. after all it has last generation specs..

probably the cube alone would cost like rm3-4k..

In the first place i dont think this item was meant for a mass market...? it is ridiculous when you have better things to use than a cube which is so old school. It can be a certified collectors item thumbup.gif

Actually this thing is quite useful for device automation (in factory) or system monitoring (aka SCADA).
It is an alternative for PC/104. So yes, this pc is useful and is still in use especially for Human-Machine-Interface (HMI) or any of the "not so critical" task (eg: flood gate control, traffic control etc...).
From my experience, i would say such system normally run on MS-Windows (CE, XP embedded) and pretty overkill to run Linux.

Sometimes people come up with stuff that other go WOW! about but in all practicality are totally useless.

Sometimes it's just to showcase new technology though. I sense some disturbance in the Miniaturization.

u're rite Aoshi_88...

those inventor created things for their own pride... but it cant be used commercially... but yes, we will shocked and "wow" looking at it, some kind of 30 secs entertainment... then, it will fade away...

but somehow, they're showing their capabilities as inventors... so we juz support them... it's not bad actually, mayb they're too bored doing same genre of things and wanna waste some of their times doing micro pc or watsoever... ekekeke...

anyway.. gud job... they hav my support 101%
