Compulab, based in Israel, have managed to
squeeze a computer on to a device two-thirds the size of a credit card. The
CM-X270L measures just 4.4 x 6.6 cm. In comparison, a MiniPCI wireless card is
6.0 x 4.4 cm - just half a centimetre thinner.
The CM-X270L somehow manages fits
in an Intel XScale chip running Windows CE or Linux, half a gig of flash, 128MB
of RAM, AC'97 sound and a Philips 802.11b wireless interface, as well as some
things you wouldn't find on a PDA, such as a PCI bus, 4 USB host ports and wired
networking.
