Intel Device

So Intel is coming together with Asustek, BenQ, Compal Electronics, High Tech Computer, Quanta Computer, and Elektrobit, to form the worlds first small mobile device that is dedicated to surfing the internet. It will be able to surf the internet form any location. It will run either Vista or Linux, and it will be priced at $500. It will run on Adobes new Appolo platform, which is a free opensource platform that allows developers to create offline flash applications easily. Appolo also allows users to run these smooth and clean and nice looking apps like they would any other program. Its going to be an always on internet device so theres no boot time. It is primarily a low consumption device and is trying to offer a great mobile internet experience.

This is neat device, there really is no device that it is a pleasure to surf the net on rather than a task. A laptop comes close but their rather pricy, heavy, battery eating, and they have to boot up. This device will finally answer peoples prayers for a device that they can just carry around with them and surf the internet at will on. It says they want to incorporate WiFi into it, but they also mention that it will have internet anywhere. This is weird because right now Wifi is not everywhere. They are partnering with some weird and random companies to make a mobile device atleast. I have a feeling this will be a little bigger than what they crack it up to be. My prayer is that it will be a low price UMPC.

All in all this is just another gadget at the moment. I’m really hoping it will fruit into a really neat practical device. I have really wanted a device that I can easily surf the internet on-the-go with. Hopefully this will answer.
