ICE xPC Pocket Desktop Computer Unveiled


The ICE xPC has been designed to offer users a pocket desktop computer that can be easily slipped into your pocket for transportation when required.

ICE Computers are providing buyers of their pocket desktop computer with the option to power their new ICE xPC mini PC with either a Core i3 or Core i5 or Intel Atom Bay Trail processors. Together with options for either 32, 64 or 128GB of storage provided by an internal solid state disk (SSD) as well as Dual HDMI and DP display support.

Weighing in at less than 4 ounces the mini PC uses less than 11 W of electricity and comes complete with a five megapixel web camera and a HDMI SlimPort for connectivity. As well as connections for DisplayPort, DVI, and VGA.

Looks very cool, but viability of this concept will depend on performance it offers, and importantly how much it will cost.

I wonder if these pocket PC's can be used as personalized clients that can connect to servers for a processing performance boost. Much the same way Steam streams gaming content from one machine to another. Just about any old machine can be used to receive Steam's game stream. It requires about as much processing as watching a DVD movie.

But then I suppose that is what the cloud will eventually evolve into! Making the only bottleneck, your cellular bandwidth restrictions.
