VIA Defines Pico-ITX Form Factor, the World's Smallest x86 Mainboard
Tiny 10cm x 7.2cm complete PC platform fits into palm of hand, more than 75% smaller than the Mini-ITX, embodies VIA's "Small is Beautiful" strategy to inspire x86 system innovation
Taipei, Taiwan, 19 April 2007 - VIA Technologies, Inc, a leading innovator and developer of silicon chip technologies and PC platform solutions, today announced the VIA VT6047 Pico-ITX form factor reference design, the smallest full-featured x86 mainboard in the industry designed for a new world of ultra compact embedded PC systems and appliances.


The Pico-ITX form factor is the latest advance in VIA's proven record on platform miniaturization. The Mini-ITX mainboard, at 17cm x 17cm, which recently celebrated its 5th anniversary as an industry standard form factor with wide market adoption, was followed by the Nano-ITX form factor at 12cm x 12cm, exactly 50% of the size of the Mini-ITX. Now, the Pico-ITX, at 10cm x 7.2cm and 50% of the size of the Nano-ITX form factor, truly embodies VIA’s "Small is Beautiful" technology design strategy of shrinking the form factor to drive the x86 platform into ever smaller systems and whole new device categories.


Leveraging VIA's extensive expertise in miniaturization at the silicon level through major advances in power efficiency, thermal management and feature integration, the VIA VT6047 Pico-ITX mainboard was designed to be powered by one of VIA’s energy efficient processor platforms, such as the VIA C7 or fanless VIA Eden processor in the 21mm x 21mm nanoBGA2 package, combined with feature-rich VIA system media processors to enable the board to pack a performance punch in a tiny, low heat, low power package.


"The Pico-ITX represents VIA's commitment to spearhead x86 innovation through our proven technology leadership in driving down the platform size," said Richard Brown, Vice President of Corporate Marketing, VIA Technologies, Inc. "As with the Mini-ITX and Nano-ITX form factors before it, this new platform has raised the excitement level among enthusiasts and customers alike, firing the imagination an almost unlimited range of what were previously impossibly small systems."

Lockin (looks like a lock), Heart Ware (a heart shape thingy), Happy Heart (another heart), and Lock Out (another lock) are no ordinary Flash Drive, but a "pimped" one. Done by the guys or gals at Philips and Swarovski. Stunning beauty-flashy drives but remember of those unwanted prying eyes.Be extra carefull dude.
Price? Around $200.

Another victim of fashion.:) Now, its a USB powered cell. Touted as the renewable and portable energy solution, these cute little "power supply" really serve most of our needs rite?

2-Cell packs of USBCELL AA Batteries are currently available from $19.95/£10.99/€17.00 in the US, Europe, Australia, Korea and Japan and are also available from leading online retailers in many geographies...

"Our USBCELL batteries are for life, and not thrown away like other alkaline cells after a single use at Christmas. With over 15 billion batteries needlessly manufactured (causing significant carbon emissions) and thrown away into Landfill each year, the world needs to adopt more sustainable and usable products like the USBCELL". -CEO, Simon Daniel

"The world's first dual-slider combining a traditional numeric keypad and a separate full QWERTY keyboard in a single device."

Wow. Insanely awesome features (minus the no-GSM capability). This phone was designed to be the ultimate social networking tool, so.. expect some serious HTML enabler here. Otherwise you are near-fail, Ocean.

Other cool features:-

Click-Free Search

Searching the Web on a "phone" is a multi-step process. With Ocean, there's no need to open a search box. Just begin typing on the roomy QWERTY keyboard from the idle screen and the device automatically switches into search mode. Ocean has a built-in HTML browser, so users can visit WAP sites or surf any Web site on the Internet. Ocean's Web browser also lets users view and save Web images to their device and offers features like "mini map" and "page optimize" so navigation is easier than before.

Expect the Ocean invasion this coming spring.







..2MP camera, max 2GB microSD support,15 hours on a single battery charge... and so on, and what not (GSM of course.. arghhh.. why.)
