Korean venture firm Ocosmos’ collaboration with international giants Intel and AT&T has resulted in the development of a revolutionary new tiny computer.
The device called “OCS1”, was unveiled at the Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco this week. It has a 4.8 inch screen slightly larger than the Samsung’s 4-inch smartphone Galaxy S and it runs on the Windows 7 mobile operating system.
“It is the world’s first tiny computer that provides the same experience of playing online games on personal computers,” said Oh Eu-jin, president of Ocosmos. “Young people will fall in love with the tiny computer, which has more capabilities than smartphones.”
With an integrated controller developed by Ocosmos, indicating a few buttons could serve keyboard and mouse functions, it is Wi-Fi enabled and has a PC-level capacity through technology engagement with Intel’s Oaktrail chip.
It also features a camera which permits improved web searching and additional game services.
Ocosmos, a start-up company which focuses on the development of new technologies, was selected as a partner by global chip maker Intel.
Observers, however, say it will take time to see if the company can create a new trend in the industry and win the support of larger companies to go with the company-invented new platform.
Ocosmos is planning to make further efforts to market the product to the US, China and other overseas markets.
