Intel announced various wearable tech during CES , now company is announcing a tiny computer. Intel CEO Brian Krzanich announced Edison, “a full Pentium-class PC” that’s the size and shape of the SD card.The tiny computer is built on the company’s 22nm transistor technology.
It’s powered by a dual-core Quark SOC, runs Linux, and has built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity. Intel has also launched a specific app store designed for Edison, and a special version of Wolfram that will come to the tiny computer.
To demonstrate the potential for Edison, Intel showed a concept for a “Nursery 2.0.” In the concept, a baby was wearing a Mimo onesie outfitted with sensors tracking things like temperature, and Edison was used display that information on, of all things, a coffee mug. When the baby was comfortable, blinking lights on the mug show a happy green smiling face, but when something is wrong that face turns red. A much more useful application, however, involved using Edison to switch on a bottle warmer when your baby starts to stir, that way it’s ready come feeding time.
