At the ESC Boston conference Rob Wray from mp3Car spoke to representatives from the PC manufacturer MSI which makes this ultra thin computer.

This computer packs 4 usb ports, laptop hard drive, 2 lan ports, 3 mini pci slots, and 2 wireless antennas into a case less than an inch thin. Wow!

Is this similar to the new thin INTEL board you guys started selling? Also is the ATOM single or dual core? The size is impressive, but the price isnt, especially if its a single core unit.

I've been using similar form factor for many years now, it's just a matter of disecting a laptop/tablet, but this is cool because it's in a nice neat little package already done for you & easy. the alternative does include an lvds interface & an lcd though
