Tiny Computer

mHelmy
I bought an electronic devices this morning. It is more like a PDA, has touch screen with its light pen, cellphone support with any type of card, 12 megapixels cameras on the front and on the back added with a cool flash light.

I saw the hardware specification on the box, it also has 2GB memory, dual 64 bit processor 3 GHz, 2TB mini harddrive, 1GB graphic memory, 32bit sound, complete network support (wireless, mini RJ-45, bluetooth, infra red).

On the left, there's a mini RJ-45, IRDA receiver, and 2 mini USB. On the right there are sound connector (speaker, mic, line in), and 1 mini video output (complete with additional converter jack accessories). The box says that I can watch tv and listen to radio, with special bundled software I will be able to record them too !

Bundled software : Operating System, Office, Multimedia Player and Recording, Phone Manager and Answering Machine, Internet Browser, Instant Messenger, Network Manager, Anti Virus, etc. If I want more applications, I can install them later.

It is only $450, very cheap isn't it ? smile.gif

Now it's time to try it ! I turn it on, in less then a second, the screen appears and ready to use. I read the step by step guide on the manual book.

First chapter is about how to function the devices to be a desktop computer. Get a USB hub, plug usb keyboard and mouse. The usb and mouse icons appear on the top of screen. Plug video converter jack and connect a monitor, monitor icon appears. Click Start - Settings - Mode - Desktop Mode. A common desktop view appears on the monitor and I can use it as a desktop computer.

But there's a warning not to shutdown the computer. I try it anyway by pushing the on/off button, the screen goes blank and it says : Sorry, this is just a dream. Wake Up ! biggrin.gif

Poor you. Though, I am glad that I have never had such a nerdtastic dream.

What makes me laugh slightly is that, given a few years or perhaps a little more, devices similar to that one might be pretty commonplace. Miniaturisation is going at such a ridiculous rate that the idea above is by no means impossible, nor unlikely. Now the slightly scary thought: if we can make computers that small that powerful, what are the desktop ones going to be like...?

I'll leave that thought hanging for you to ponder...

That would be a pretty awesome PDA, I thought it was real for a second when I was reading it lol. Regarding the 12MP camera, they have a lot of "12 MP" cameras in Asia on cell phones and PMPs, but the stupid thing is that they are interpolated, so the camera would actually have a 5MP censor, but the pictures would come out as 12MP, the quality would be so terrible, even though the picture would be huge. Maybe in a few years, such a computer would exist... smile.gif

Actually, before I forget to talk about cameras, the idea of a "modulated" design - so that you can quite literally build your own system from a large number of seperate chunks of hardware (ranging from, say, RAM to a built-in camera) strikes me as a damned awesome idea.

Imagine being able to replace parts of your phone / PDA / whatever with a few simple flicks of a switch. Compatibility could be an interesting problem, but if all of the parts identify what they are and the component is in the "knowledge-base" of the rest of the system then it would know what to do with it. Think of it as the next level of plug-and-play. wink.gif

  8. Proper Airflov Through A Computer Case

    Having correct airflow through your PC case is critical to your system running properly. Heat
    buildup in a computer case can cause lockups, slowdowns and even shutdowns. You should carefully
    consider the direction of the air when building a PC or when modifying an existing computer. Which
    way should the case fans blow? The CPU fan attached to the heat sink should blow down onto the heat
    sink and processor. Fresh air can be pulled in this way, but you will want additional fans installed
    to help bring cooler air into the case. An 80mm case fan installed in the front of ....
  9. Best Program To Tune Up An Old Computer?

    was a bit faster. Could anyone recommend me a program that could boost the speed by optimizing the
    computer, or by deleting some clutter, or repairing the registry. I remember I've tried before
    with some optimization programs on this computer, but since I used free programs (I don't want

    grey black and white monitor that ran louder than any other appliance! Everything was MSDOS, and if
    it weren't for preprogrammed games, we would run them from the DOS prompt. I guess it was
    pretty reliable, but the newer systems at the time were all for play, and my parents thought it was
    best to get some other usage out of it. We did a lot of Basic programming, but we used to play

    on. Then, I remove the power cable from it's back, wait for some hour(s) and turn it on ok,

    is somehow proportional to the time I left the power cable off it. Some would say it&....
