- Itsy Pocket Computer
The Itsy Pocket Computer is a small, low-power, handheld device with a highly flexible interface. It was designed at
Digital Equipment Corporation 's Western Research Laboratory to encourage novel user interface development - for example, it hadaccelerometer s to detect movement and orientation as early as 1999.Hardware
* CPU: DEC
StrongARM SA-1100 processor
* Memory: 16 MiBs of DRAM, 4 MiB's of Flash memory.
* Interfaces: I/O interfaces for audio input/output, IrDA, and an RS232 serial serial port. A small 320 x 200 pixel graphic LCD and touchscreen are used for display and user input. 10 general purpose push-buttons for additional user input purposes.
