The Zupera Smartpad Mini PC
Posted by Jason Dunn in "OFF-TOPIC" @ 01:30 PM
"Zupera Technology from Hong Kong has designed the Smartpad, a wireless mini computer running on Windows CE .NET with an Intel PXA255 400MHz processor. The Smartpad has a nice chunk of memory, 64MB and 128MB SDRam with additional SD/MMC expansion capabilities. The 7-inch TFT LCD can display 16 bits at 800x600 resolution. The entire device measures 215mm x 125mm x 28mm which makes it mostly all screen and a bit of room for side buttons and what not. The player also has integrated 10/100 ethernet and GPRS/CDMA 1X modules with support for 802.11b wireless, this should be integrated as well, and where is the Bluetooth?"
There seems to be no shortage of companies who are cranking out Windows CE .NET-based devices, but their strategy seems quite random to me. Cool hardware does not a platform make - it requires intentionality and the wooing of developers. What do you think about this new device?
