Norwegian company FXI technologies showed off a USB stick-sized portable computer prototype, complete with a dual-core 1.2-GHz Samsung Exynos ARM CPU (same as in the Galaxy S II), 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, HDMI-out and a microSD card slot for memory. Codenamed Cotton Candy because its 21 gram weight is the same as a bag of the confection, the tiny PC enables what its inventor calls “Any Screen Computing,” the ability to turn any TV, laptop, phone, tablet, or set-top box into a dumb terminal for its Android operating system

@taiddan I personally dont think that the cloud is ever going to completely replace insite storage. The speeds offered by RAM is like in the Gbps range, which i dont think any mainstream net connection can provide in the near future, say some 10-15 years from now. i’ll still need my PC or console to play good games IMHO.
DO WANT! The “take over any device” part makes me think about how hacker I can go on this. If it supports ubuntu, backtrack should work as well… Do want…
@Tito23p yes, ur right man
@taiddan you mean, that is the industries and secret service vision of the computing future
My data belongs to me, and I am sure many people think the same way and even more if they start to think about cloud based computing now.
PLUG IT IN OR GTFO, ffs
what a crappy video…
@midcoregamer
This video is a poor explanation of what this does. Basically, in the future you’ll no longer have any computer towers or laptops in your home, only monitors. Think of this USB stick as a video card. What it does is access a “Cloud Computer” that holds all your data and performs all computing. The “Cloud computer” then sends data back to this USB device telling it what to display on the screen. Can it play BF3? If you’ve uploaded BF3 to the “cloud computer”, then yes.
@DivineDarknesss No it’s not. The Raspberry PI is bigger, has more input ports and runs Ubuntu and is really cheap. (Hopefully the PI comes out soon!)
I’d love to have both though
Looking foward to get my hand on it.
The only thing interesting here is his hair.
will it run crysis
This. Is. A. Copy. of. the. raspberry. pi.
Too much talk. Too little demonstration. Fail, Fail, Fail!
buy a dozen
I don’t want to hear you talk you dumb fuck! Show us how it works, plug it in!
@jpmcnown Wait what? How is that even possible? They would need electricity to perform electrolysis in the first place… Strange company.
We will have one of these in our office next week to test on any device we like. We will post a video of it in use
Is this the same bullshit company that claims to have a car running on hydrogen from water via electrolysis?
Can someone explain me why i hate the reporter’s face?
That looks awesome I love the way the software works …. oh wait no you just fucking talked the whole time while wasting mine.
Ya callate y conectaloooooo
no demo?
Insanity
@midcoregamer No. It doesn’t run Windows and wouldn’t be good enough to play it anyway.
so how hot does that cotton candy get?
