<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap:break-word; font-family: sans-serif">FXI (<a href="http://www.fxitech.com">http://www.fxitech.com</a>/) is preparing to launch the Cotton Candy, a tiny computer that looks like a USB thumb drive. The device, which can run either Ubuntu or Android 4.0, has a dual-core 1.2GHz ARM Cortex-A9 CPU, 1GB of RAM, and a Mali 400MP GPU that allows it to decode high-definition video.<br /><br />It has a USB plug on one side, which is used to power the system, and an HDMI plug on the other side, which allows it to be plugged into a display. It also has built-in WiFi and Bluetooth radios for connectivity and supporting input devices. The system can boot standalone and operate as a complete computer when plugged into a display. It is also possible to plug the Cotton Candy into a conventional computer and boot from it like you would from a regular USB mass storage device.<br /><br />Looks like the price will be US$199 + tax + S/H and expected to ship in
March. <br /><br />I be curious to see if they go the Ubuntu on Android route eventually. Thoughts and comments from others? Anyone interested in test driving such?<br /><br />--- Crawford<br /><br />The Linux ETC Company<br />10121 Yates Court<br />Westminster, CO 80031 USA<br />voice: +1.303.604.2550<br />web: <a href="http://www.linux-etc.com">http://www.linux-etc.com</a><br /><br />Please do not print this email unless it is absolutely necessary.
