Ars Technica has a report about yet another small ARM-computer. This time it is a HDMI-dongle sized Pocket TV with Android 4 as OS. Quite impressive specs for such a small form factor: 1GHz ARM Cortex A9 CPU, 512MB of RAM, and 4GB of internal storage, built-in microSD slot, a USB 2.0 port, and WiFi. Earlier this year the FXI Cotton Candy has been announced which is sligthly more expensive: $199 against $160 but has more RAM and a somewhat faster CPU.
With a lot of this small sized gadgets the number of ARM based computing devices are growing at a rapid pace. This partly explains the big dollars Intel is spending to create a serious competitor for ARM chips. It is quite ironic they already did have Xscale ARM processors but saled it a few years ago as "not interesting for making profits".
This blog will be mainly focused on my own experiences with computers and software. Both I am using now purely as a user and hobbyist. Also I comment on interesting news about ICT, privacy and combinations of both. In deze blog zal het voornamelijk gaan over ervaringen met computers en software waar ik tegenwoordig alleen nog hobbymatig mee bezig ben en mijn commentaar op imo interessante nieuwsberichten op het gebied van ICT, privacy en de combinatie van beide.
