The recent developments in the world of ultra mobile PCs are very interesting to a number of people, especially developers fed up with all the Windows Mobile operating system limitations and restrictions... A few days ago I presented in this blog a Sony device that fitted the aforementioned bill (a fully functional Vista powered system of tiny dimensions) and now here is another PDA-sized PC that falls in the same category.
Vulcan's FlipStart measures 15cm wide, 11.4cm deep and 4.1cm high, has a 1,024 by 600 native resolution, weighs a mere 771g and is equipped with a 1.1GHz Intel Pentium M Ultra Low Voltage CPU, 512MBytes of RAM and a 30GB hard drive. Again the operating system is Windows Vista. More information on it on Vulcan's site at http://www.flipstartpc.com/.
While it looks less stylish and considerably "blockier" than the Sony Vaio device presented at a previous entry, it is no doubt another excellent alternative to PDA devices. Time can only tell whether the Sony Vaio UX or Vulcan's FlipStart could be used in mobile commercial applications such as navigation but it is undeniable that their potential in conducting research in similar fields can be immense.
