FlipStart PC: I Want One Of Those!

My dream (and Niklas' at Enkelriktat as it turns out) of mo' mobility just took one step closer to reality.

The Vulcan mini PC project was born. Paul's team previewed the Vulcan mini PC (now called Flipstart) at DEMO 2004, the premiere forum for new product innovation. Flipstart combines the performance and functionality of the Microsoft Windows® XP operating system with always-on connectivity that fits in the palm of your hand. This combination re-defines mobile computing for users who want access to business-critical software, email, and the Web while on the go.

This is very close to the machine I was dreaming of a few years back (and still have sketches and component listings for in my Little Grey Book). Now all that is needed is the virtual screen attached to my glasses and the finring mouse control device, communicating with the FlipStart using Bluetooth of course.

Apparently the prices is not yet set, but I will be prepared to pay quite a lot for such a small yet powerful device with built in WLAN, Bluetooth and GSM. And a 1.3 MP camera...

FlipStart delivers desktop computing to mobile professionals and consumers in a form factor that can be carried effortlessly everywhere...
