This thing is amazing. A stand alone Linux machine about the size and form factor of a wall wart. Don't see myself getting one for $99 bucks, but at $49 why not."Marvell announced today a new type of computer. It's about the size of an AC to DC converting wall outlet plug, but is really a full SoC with a 1200 MHz CPU, built-in 512 MB Flash, 512 MB DRAM, Gigabit Ethernet and USB 2.0 support. It runs small versions of Linux, consumes about 5 watts max while allowing remote users (presumably those authorized by the owner) to access data stored on the device from remote locations including local intranets or over the Internet. The $99 device opens up a wide array of extremely low-power, low-volume, always on applications." Marvell's Plug Computer (Submitted by Noel Mon Mar 2, 2009 ) |
