Mitsuishi (no that’s not a typo) Inbou has apparently developed the “HagakiPC,” which is a PC capable of running Windows XP, that happens to be the size of a postcard. A Japanese postcard. Because “hagaki” is Japanese for “post card.” Apparently, though, Japanese postcards aren’t very convenient if they are all this small (5.3″ x 4.2″ x 0.7″) and as heavy (3/4 of a pound) as this HagakiPC.
Other specifcations include 128MB of memory + 128MB of flash memory (enough for Windows 98SE to be embedded, allegedly), a CompactFlash slot, USB port, 4″ 640 x 480 display (wait, that sounds familiar), and 266MHz processor. Not exactly a gamer’s dream, but it should be good enough for simple browsing and email. AA batteries too, allowing for a 4 hour battery life.
Perhaps the best part of this machine, though, is the smashing super-duper low price plus ALPHA EX ZERO HADOKEN – Mitsuishi claims that mass production prices will be under ~$917 USD. You’ll probably break even after having to replace the batteries every 4 hours.
