They should at least collect emails, but, I guess, they expect a new wave of PR when it actually launches.
Like Edison did. Or didn't. Did that ever launch?
Yes, but it's overpriced and the specs are poor (when compared to other embedded-like solutions)
Re: Intel Compute Stick
#53Hardware like that makes me yearn for one with no wireless and a pair of Gigabit Ethernet ports to use as a firewall and server.
It's fairly interesting to note what it's not: Android or Chrome OS. I suspect Microsoft will do quite well out of this, especially in the digital signage market, anywhere which is reasonably price sensitive but if developer time and cost can be reduced then they get a lot of leeway.
Still, yet another reminder that the cost of computing is collapsing. Most of the cost here is Intel margin and in the case of the more expensive one MS licenses.

#54"compute-on-a-stick" what a name...
I seriously couldn't decide if the copywriter was laughing when he or she wrote "The Intel Compute Stick is a new generation compute-on-a-stick device." (Because x-on-a-stick is an inherently funny phrasing.) But I read the text very carefully and concluded that it was written earnestly, so I didn't leave a comment.
It really is a new generation of compute-on-a-stick device.

The linux version of the device is rumored to be priced at $90.
it's already for sale from chineese sellers. all this is, is a Intel case with exact same parts. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/221639054114?_trksid=p2059210.m274... See http://lowendtalk.com/discussion/39399/meegopad-t01
A bit cheaper off DX:

#56"Bookmark this page, and then set a reminder to check in soon." this is how product announcements work these days? Would've been nice to have a bit of actual information.
They should at least collect emails, but, I guess, they expect a new wave of PR when it actually launches.
When companies have actual competitive value to offer, marketing is easier. I guess.
Re: Intel Compute Stick
#57As the power increases beyond Atom processors, I think this will be very compelling. I'd love to be able to unplug a dongle from my desktop monitor at home, and plug it into a tablet sized device to use on the train, then plug it into my monitor when I get to work, or a hotel rooms tv screen, or the presentation screen in our office conference room, etc. etc.
I'm not clear how these work: is the idea that each device (desktop, tablet, etc) has a CPU and this is an additional CPU, so you're basically carting around your own VM and the host equipment can let you play in it's garden or not, complete with network access?
Why is it that I don't see many corporate IT departments adopting this?

The code names would all have to come from Something About Mary
Re: Intel Compute Stick
#60Very cool, but... I think the future is our compute power in our "phones" that work with ambient peripherals (keyboards, monitors).
Totally, anybody aware of anybody working on this?
