NEC debuts new thin client
Mainly targeting businesses, NEC has launched a new "thin client" desktop PC, the US110. The computer is small enough to fit in a person's hand, and jettisons most normal features, including optical drives and a substantive hard disk; instead, it is meant to connect to a virtual private network (VPN), where files and programs are kept in earnest. It does however have enough memory to run Windows CE, and enough processor power to handle functions such as VoIP or playing back MPEG and WMV video files. Ports allow the connection of sound, monitor and various USB devices. The 110 should be available in Japan October 29th for 49,000 yen ($418) before tax. [via Impress Watch]
