Computer in USB Pen Drive!

Hard to believe, but a new Linux Computer has been crammed into a USB Pen Drive!

Measuring just 3.3 x 1.4 inches (85 by 35 mm) the tiny device has 64MB of SDRAM and 256MB of NAND flash. So don’t expect to play Half-Life 2 on it, but it should be able to handle basic Internet functions decently.

The start-up company based in the French Alps near Grenoble is readying a tiny ARM-based Linux single-board computer (SBC) in a USB key form-factor. Calao, based in Sant Martin le Vinoux, is also readying a tiny Linux SBC designed to plug into QIL (quad in-line) IC sockets.
