Cotton Candy by FXI Tech
FXI is positioning its tiny computer to excel at showing high-resolution video, especially on large-sized displays connected to its HDMI port. Cotton Candy runs on an Exynos 4210, a 1.2 GHz system-on-chip processor that can crank out video at 1080p resolution without slowdown, and this whole computer is contained in a form factor measuring only 3.15 by 0.98 inches (80 by 25 mm). FXI has demonstrated the Cotton Candy running Android 2.3 Gingerbread, Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, and Ubuntu. The one drawback is that this tiny computer doesn’t come with a tiny price: $199. The company intends to ship to buyers in the US who pre-ordered in February by the end of summer.
