14 DAY TRIAL // While the market may be more or less focused on the new beast released by Advanced Micro Devices on the video card market, other IT players are definitely not sitting back, as proven by ExoPC, whose plans now include new AiO systems.
The IT industry has been hearing of ExoPC's plans for the tablet market since early last year, February 2010 that is.
The outfit has been apparently trying to distinguish itself from the fold by not sticking to the Android-ARM hardware combo when making its slates.
This was shown last month, February 2011, when it presented a tablet loaded with the MeeGo operating system during MWC (mobile World Congress).
Now, it is revealed that ExoPC will try to get a foothold in a different market segment, that of All-in-One systems to be exact.
Regrettably, no real details on their hardware was given, but the overall outline of what one may expect was, at least, provided.
There will be two all-in-one personal computers to start with, scheduled for release in the early summer of the ongoing year.
One of them, with a display size of 18.5 inches, will use a dual-core Intel Atom chip, while the other one, measuring 23 inches, will use a stronger, still unknown CPU (likely also from Intel).
Both will be loaded with the Microsoft Windows 7 operating system and will be released in June, possibly at Computex, Taipei.
In the meantime, Intel may or may not finish developing that standardized AiO platform that rumors spoke of last week.
The folks behind the report about the AiO machines also said that ExoPC was hard at work on finalizing the MeeGo software, which is said to be 70% complete and compatible with 98% of all Flash and HTML applications.
Either way, for both projects, users can only wait and see how things progress from here.
