Startup and cloud computing aficionados CherryPal have unveiled their first compact PC. Powered by a 400MHz Freescale mobileGT MPC5121e processor, the 10.5oz computer has a scant 256MB of RAM, 4GB of flash memory and WiFi b/g. So far, so meagre, but the CherryPal’s saving grace is the online software and storage suite the company is promising.
Technologic Systems have unveiled their latest single-board computer (SBC) which, although they’re not doing the usual and reaching for a title, must surely be a strong contender in the “fastest boot time” charts. This latest incarnation of the TS-7800 can load Linux 2.6.21 from NAND flash in 0.69 seconds, despite being powered by a relatively lowly [...]

As with the Eee notebooks, both Windows XP and Linux versions of the desktop will be available, each packing a 1.6GHz Intel Atom CPU, 802.11n and DVI output. Best of all are the [...]
