As many of us already understood, the G3 based "supercomputer" to which CoyoteFlux referred in their interview was a bPlan Pegasos. They've got some more infos at THENDIC-France.

| Thendic France announce worldwide Pegasos reseller program : Comment 36 of 70 | ANN.lu |

>A 2 man development team?
I must admit that I don't know exactly who are behind thendic france, but my observations were based on visiting their website and reading sharwin &
rakesh's announcement with the line "...our company..." That gave me the impression there were mainly 2 ppl working on the main design process.
>1) Pegasos is made by bPlan... And you already saw it working...
I never have questioned the bplan pegasos mobo... Not here, nor anywhere else.
My doubts were concerning about getting a pegasos mobo redesigned and squeezed inside a casing that's the size of a calculator.
>2) Take a look at the products Thendic makes... Metal, drug, explosive
>and several other detectors, surveilance systems, etc...
>They are NOT the typical small Amiga company.
I agree that their list of products is highly impressive, however I cannot bring myself to compare cashboy and surveillance camera systems with high-tech handheld computer designing. I cannot even compare pegasos mobo with this because even the pegasos is a very impressive piece of work, it still ain't technically as demanding as doing the same thing in 5 times smaller size and using very little power. If thendic can pull it off it would mean it's the most powerful handheld system out there at the moment. Meaning they would technically beat pocketpc, sharp etc. in their own game. these are companies that have been committed to the handheld business for years and have the means and abilities to research, design, and produce their technology.
This is why I'm sceptic. It doesen't mean I wouldn't find thendic's product line impressive, nor does it mean I could say "they cannot pull this off" because I don't know. But it's understandable that I have certain reservations with news of this magnitude. |
