So the engineers at Hokuto System are the ones behind this, but basically they are recycling cell phone components and using a custom made board to make pocket sized computers. It looks like they are stealing the screen, RAM/ROM chips, processor, audio chips and interfaces, and CMOS sensors from the phones and putting them on a chip board.

The program appears to be called DVIEW and will begin selling these micro computers before the end of the year. Here’s the catch, they won’t be selling them to the public, they will be selling them to stores to us as POS displays and such.

It really makes a lot of sense, and I could even see them being used as a form of electronic advertisement too. There are so many business uses for this type of device its not funny, those engineers really are genius’ if this works out on the business end of things.
