Via's "Ultra Mobile" ITX Unveiled

[jut]

Via Technologies Incorporation CEO Wenchi Chen has showcased the “world’s first industry-standard form-factor for PC/phone convergence” in the form of a 3 x 1.8inches “mobile-ITX” motherboard in the Computerex Trade Show in Taipei. Via suggests that it may be used as the basis for smartphones that are compatible with x86 architectures.

The mobile-ITX board was based on a 1GHz C7-S processor in a 9 x 11mm package with 256MB or 512MB RAM soldered on-board, and a CDMA baseband processor chip. It is capable of running Linux and Windows XP embedded but not Vista embedded, Via admits.

The development of the mobile-ITX board was the company’s promise for “ultra-mobility” where we see the platform shrinking further, with ever richer functionality. It gives us a glimpse of the future of ultra mobile devices and the real convergence of computing and communications.

Yes, I must admit that Via is revolutionizing the power of computers into super phones. Imagine the internet being navigated using your phone? And take note also that the platform is Windows, so you won't really need the effort to learn new mechanism, less effort at that!
