The ultimate in portable computing
Filed in archive Mobile by Andrew Garrett on June 3, 2004
Keep your desktop in your pocket - "a USB key drive with a 32-bit processor inside it that lets you run programs right off of it" found via Engadget.
The best thing about this sort of device (if it works as well as it might) is how easy it makes it to bring work home for those of us who don't like the idea of carrying a laptop everywhere.
I have a laptop at home as well as my main machine, I have 1 main desk
at work, but I often hot-desk into project teams for short periods. This sort of thing would be remarkably useful for me. I think it's probably a bit more secure than a laptop - easier to lose, sure, but you're a lot less likely to put it down somewhere because it's too heavy....
It'll be interesting to see where this goes.
