MTube, the Smallest PC in the World in Action

11:20PM Jesus Diaz | Maybe we missed the MTube at CES because at 3.34 x 3.34 x 0.78 inches and 5.3 ounces, this Linux-based WiMax- and Wi-Fi-enabled UMPC is the smallest “full featured” computer in the world. Or maybe because we ran out of time and had to run to the adult entertainment expo to keep all our bases covered. Anyway, here are the full specs: More »

MTube Linux-Based UMPC Is Tiny, Touchy, WiMax-y

7:20AM Matt Buchanan | The picture’s a little small, but you’re looking at a Linux-based UMPC with a 2.8-inch VGA touchscreen and a WiMax hookup unveiled yesterday by Taiwan’s Science and Technology Advisory Group. Dubbed MTube, it packs a 1Ghz VIA CPU and 8GB of storage in its tiny 8.5 x 8.5 x 2cm body, but not a lot of battery life—only four hours. But since the MTube isn’t supposed to hit commercial production until 2009, they have time to pack some more juice—and hopefully a faster processor, since 1Ghz, even in a UMPC, will probably seem a little slow in two years.
