Paul Allen's next small thing -- FlipStart
Seattle PI | at | by Mike
More than two decades after leaving Microsoft, Paul Allen still has designs on the computer business. But this time, he's aiming for something smaller.
See Todd Bishop's blog for more details on, and more images of, the FlipStart.
To be precise, it's less than 6 inches wide and weighs just about a pound and a half.
It's a miniature computer, dubbed FlipStart, and it's slated for release later this month, after years of development. The device rests on the palm but looks like a tiny laptop, contains a 30-gigabyte hard drive and runs full-fledged software on a microprocessor good enough for a traditional desktop computer.
