"Intel announces Edison, a computer the size of an SD card"

http://www.theverge.com/2014/1/6/5282472/intel-announces-edison-a-computer-the-size-of-an-sd-card/in/5046515 [quote]Intel built a processor for wearable computing, and now it has a tiny computer where that processor can live. At CES 2014, Intel CEO Brian Krzanich announced Edison, "a full Pentium-class PC" that's the size and shape of an SD card you might otherwise put in your camera. It's powered by a dual-core Quark SOC, runs Linux, and has built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, according to the company. Intel even has a specific app store designed for Edison, and a special version of Wolfram that will come to the computer.[/quote] Never, EVER would I have thought that ANYBODY would be able to develop something as powerful as this, well, computer, in that form factor. It's a fully functional PC, and even comes with built in WiFi and Bluetooth support, and it's just the size of an SD card. Wow, that's amazing. This thing has to be expensive though.

  • That's pretty cool mayne. I can see the awesome uses for it in the future, Clothes, pens and freaking glasses might be able to have built in CPUs, you could have a watch that is literally a computer. An entire network by just everyday items. man, it's basically making me think that everything will be connected to the internet at all times. I could flush, do the laundry,skype, do my homework, and order pizza while jogging and using my glasses. It's kinda cool but scary at the same time.
