That comes in the form of Direct Insight's new TRITON-TX51, which outdoes the Nokia N900 with an 800GHz Cortex-A8 processor, along with Freescale's i.MX515 system-on-a-chip, 128MB DDR400 RAM, 128MB of NAND flash, and a touchscreen controller that can drive screens at resolutions up to 1,280 x 768. You'll also get some other things nice to have on a computer like a 10/100 ethernet controller and a USB 2.0 interface, and even a reasonably capable PowerVR graphics engine that can do OpenGL ES 2.0 and hardware 720p decoding for MPEG-4/H264 video. Look for this one to land sometime next month for €150 (or just over $220).Direct Insight debuts SODIMM-sized, ARM-based computer-on-a-module (http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/05/direct-insight-debuts-sodimm-sized-arm-based-computer-on-a-modu/) originally appeared on Engadget (http://www.engadget.com) on Sat, 05 Dec 2009 12:21:00 EST.
