Paul Allen's Vulcan Mini-PC
Posted by Ed Hansberry in "OFF-TOPIC" @ 08:00 AM
Here is another interesting device from CES this week. "A hitherto unknown group within multibillionaire Paul Allen's Vulcan Inc. techno-empire has designed a compact, lightweight, wireless computer that is expected to debut by Christmas for between $1,200 and $1,500."
It runs Windows XP. Now this is a device I would want. I have never seen the interest in the OQO. Too big to be a PDA, to small to be a work machine. The Vulcan though is the ultimate mini-PC. Specs include:
• 5.8-inch screen at 800X400
• 20GB drive
• Support for external keyboard and mouse
• Batteries last for up to four hours
• USB 2 port with external CD-ROM
• WiFi or one of two cellular technologies integrated at the choice of the OEM.
Lets hope this comes to market and we aren't sitting here in 2004 going "Remember the Vulcan? Yeah, that was cool." :D
