World’s smallest x86-based Internet tablet?
Chipmaker Via & its sponsor have created the 3.3-inch square “MTube” the “world’s smallest x86 PC,” and the first “IMP” (Internet Media Player) with TV recording capabilities. The 5.3-ounce MTube measures 3.3 x 3.3 x 0.8 inches (8.3 x 8.3 x 2cm), and sports a 2.8-inch VGA (640 x 480) touch panel display. There’s built-in WiFi and WiMax wireless communications, with CDMA cellular networking optional.

The MTube was shown decoding a simulated digital TV (DVB-T) broadcast. It was also shown streaming video to a wirelessly connected digital photo frame. Advanced digital TV features reportedly include time-shifted TV viewing, via 8GB of built-in flash, and picture-in-picture viewing. There’s also a full browser (mostlikely Firefox) supporting “Web 2.0″ content. Via’s demo of the device featured YouTube video content and Google Maps.
