Taiwan's MTube: Handheld PC for WiMax
Government-funded researchers in Taiwan have developed a new device which aims to bring the functionality of a PC down to handheld dimensions using WiMax technology. The MTube is pocket-sized but can hold up to 8 Gb of data and uses a 1 Ghz microprocessor which allows it to run software intended for PCs. Despite it’s size, it’s a computer and not a wireless-enabled phone. The MTube won’t run off of 3G networks and is designed primarily for WiMax use although it will be operable on some Wi-Fi networks.
“Development of the MTube, which is made solely from parts manufactured in Taiwan, is aimed at promoting Taiwanese made goods, as well as developing more devices and applications for WiMax wireless Internet broadband services”
The country hopes to be able to set itself apart as a leader in WiMax technology and developments. They’ve been working on the technology extensively since teaming up with Intel a few years back.
