MTube does Linux, WiMAX, weighs five ounces

Check out the MTube. Sure, the name is weird and maybe a little pointless, but the device itself is pretty interesting. We don’t have a ton of detail on the little guy — which was put together by Taiwan’s Science and Technology Advisory Group — except that it’s built atop VIA’s Mobile-ITX motherboard, features a 2.8-inch, 640 x 480 touchscreen, 8GB of flash memory, a 1GHz VIA CPU, and is running some form of Linux. The new, miniscule ITX form factor apparently also includes a CDMA baseband chip, which opens up wireless connectivity possibilities for devices of this type. Right now this is just a prototype, but production is planned for 2009, and once VIA’s credit-card sized motherboard hits the market, we suspect we’ll be seeing all kinds of new gadgetry like this popping up.
