Xcore86 and Gecko Edubook
The Xcore86 is a new Device on Chip that features a full x86 computer on a single chip. This video shows how the Xcore86 can be used to power future handheld devices that will be able to run existing x86 operating systems such as Windows and Linux. Also shown is the upcoming new Gecko Edubook. The Gecko Edubook is the least expensive 8.9 inch screen x86 netbook available. It is also fanless, features standard rechargable AA NiMH batteries and can be booted from a standard SD or 2.5 inch hard disk.
