Hehe, maybe I do _have_ some chance of persuading my boss to finance a supercomputer....

Impressive. Though my phone is 800Mhz and technically runs Linux. It also has decent resolution. Supposedly, 2GHz phones with HDMI ports are in the works. I guess the real difference is price.

It is a nice feat but I think such a "stick-y" PC should find a nice home in robotic applications.
BTW thanks to the O-F staff for decryptifying the thread. Should have specified what I was posting about.

this was well timed, in geography, one of our case studies was OLPC , aiming for $100 per laptop, these guys have managed the computer side of it for 1/4 the budget, leaving $75 for display and keyboard...


thanks for the link man!

I'm going to save up and buy one.

With 700MHz, I wouldn't try anything newer than Windows 95

Hm..supports web browsing... Needs an ethernet port doesn't it?

Furthermore, it's got an ARM processor, which, AFAIK, won't run Windows of any kind, except maybe CE.

Finally, the future is here.

Windows 8 will run on ARM:

700MHz probably won't be enough...

But I don't think any current Windows version runs on ARM. Is there any?
