RE: In the spirit of the Espresso, Cappucino, and others

Yes, sometimes I wonder whether the espresso is the smallest pc around (it
seems to be smaller than most single board computers considering it has
PIII)

The only problem is that it only has USB outputs which is no good for us as
we need video input for augmented/mixed reality so we need some access to
the PCI bus (eg PCMIA to input hi-res video at 30fps)

When the USB 2.0 comes out that would solve our problem of video input -
where did you hear that the USB 2,0 would be coming out?

However for most applications it would be great.....

the company is called SaintSong.. www.saintsong.com.tw
I have one and love it.  I don't mind that it uses 20W, I just throw more
poly-ion batteries at it.. so far, you could spend as much in batteries as
you do with the computer itself.. yeah, it is a power hog, but the design is
wonderful, compact, and does everything I need in a wearable computer
(speech reco, mp3, vision reco, windows 2000, etc..)

and the idea for OEMing their computer shouldn't imply to you that they
aren't making them still.  In fact, there will be a third release by end of
year that should present new features such as USB 2.0, Athon, and microdrive
support. I'm not sure if they will have a battery pack available too..
