At
its core, the i.note is an embedded WinCE.NET
device with a 7ˇ¨ TFT LCD and based on Intelˇ¦s
PXA255 400 MHz CPU. It can display image files,
playback MPEG 1/2 movies, and play MP3 files
using the CompactFlash and Secure Digital card
slots. A built in silicon TV tuner allows users
to watch analog TV with support for worldwide
TV standards so users can watch TV wherever
they are in the world. It can also display video
from external analog sources using S-Video and
composite video inputs.
The
i.noteˇ¦s 1.3 megapixel camera can swivel
210˘X, letting users take pictures and self-portraits
as well as live video. It can read Word, Excel,
PowerPoint, and Acrobat files and can present
them using its S-Video, composite video, or
VGA outputs. The included remote control allows
users to control slideshows while presenting.
The i.note can connect to other computers using
its USB port, IrDA port, RS232 port, or its
RJ45 Ethernet port. Using the Ethernet port,
it can browse the web, send and receive email
and instant messages, or act as an HTTP or FTP
server. With the built-in camera, users can
also video conference and send streaming video
over the internet.
Expandability
of the i.note is accomplished through the USB,
CompactFlash, Secure Digital, and PCMCIA ports,
and WinCE.NET allows applications to be downloaded
and run on the device. More than a PDA, more
than a personal media player, and more than
a portable TV, the i.note blends these technologies
together to create an innovative, powerful,
and versatile product unmatched by any other. |
