AMD Use Windows CE in Low Cost Personal Internet Communicator
Posted by Jonathon Watkins in "NEWS" @ 11:00 PM
"Chip Firm AMD said it has introduced its Geode based Personal Internet Communicator (PIC) in a cooperative deal with Indian giant Tata Indicom Broadband...... the PIC probably costs around $185 without a minitor (a small monitor). AMD, in a release, underplayed the technical features of the PIC - but did say it will include a customised version of Windows CE and will include browser, word processor, spreadsheet and a presentation viewer."
AMD apparently see the PIC as a way of opening the Internet and technology up to the masses who can't currently afford it, e.g. in Mexico, India etc. In a touch that Matisse would appreciate, AMD say on their website, "The PIC is not a computer". Umm, OK. :huh: Full details of the Geode can be found at the AMD website here.
