Saint Song Releases "Linux-Compatible" Mini PC 81

Posted by Hemos from the but-how-the-hell-does-it-work dept.
10 Yogurts writes: "Saint Song Corp. recently announced the release of the Cappuccino G1, successor to their acclaimed pocket PC, the Espresso. Although no longer a "pocket PC," due to the docking bay's features being integrated into the unit, the Cappuccino is a very small (and very, very cool) set-top box--and Saint Song is specifically touting "Linux compatibility." What does the Cappuccino have that the Espresso didn't? How about S-Video and RCA outs, Ethernet, swappable DVD-ROM/CD-RW drive, V.90 modem, 16-bit sound, IrDA support, more bus ports, and a new chipset (i810E), to name a few. Impress Watch (Japanese text) has several photos of the box, including two interior shots. Tsukomo, also in Japanese, has even more photos, and is selling the units for ¥84,800 (about US$720)." It looks like a sleek little device - and is cheaper then the iPaq I bought from the shady looking store in NYC. But does anyone have more detailed information? Please post below, if so.

    See What Bill Gates talked about Espresso PC in WinHEC
    2000

    "... This device is called an Espresso PC, and this is actually a full active PC. It has a socket 370
    810-based motherboard, so it will support Celeron or Pentium IIs,
    128-megabyte of RAM, a 12-gigabyte hard drive. You'll notice right here is the touch pad for the
    PC. So this is a fully functional, very active PC. On this one edge you'll see the ports for mouse,
    keyboard, video, audio on the side. And if you want to add USB here, and if you want to add
    networking, there's a spot for docking port, networking, CD-ROM, DVD. So you have a
    companion device. So we're seeing this explosion of not only features and functionality in the PC,
    but the PC is being driven to different new and exciting form factors. ...

  • For some of us (ok, maybe just me) the smaller the better. Right now I use old laptops as my servers to cut down on noise and space. I would like to buy a "slim-pc" like the ones made by Sony or HP, but the cost is pretty high and they're still bulkier than this little puppy.

    Oh, and just to note, current laptops are too big for my tastes since I commute on a motorcycle and its a pain to try and safely wedge a Dell Latitude into my tail bag.
  • Look at the G4 cube, aside from being cute, it is also very small (and quiet). Sony and HP also have slim-top PC's

    I'm sure that most people who only have 1-3 computers have no problem with tower cases, but for those of us that have 5+ boxes and only one spare bedroom to shove them into, these are exactly what we're looking for.

  • Well, a lot of milk and some cacao. Mostly it is a matter of taste what you prefer.
  • Cisco makes small, set-top box routers. They own the market, for god sakes, they're worth more than Microsoft.

    They've also priced themselves out of the market for all but enterprise customers. Sure, that's a great business strategy, and they're making more money than ever, but it still leaves a gap at the lower end of the market. A home user with an ADSL line isn't going to be able to afford a Cisco box. Nor will a small business.

  • I suppose the niche market is impromtue Halflife/Quake/Diablo Lan parties.

    To me, the obvious use is as a router and/or firewall box. The manufacturers obviously disagree, because they've only supplied it with a single network port. With two network ports, I'm sure these machines would have a real niche market to sell to. As it is, I just can't see who's going to buy them...

  • 100BT on the LAN and USB out via DSL or frame relay makes a _great_ compact SOHO router.

    I wish that were true. Here in the UK, if you get the USB ADSL option, you can only connect a single computer to it (unless BT are lying to me, which I wouldn't completely rule out...). Thus, I need to get the Ethernet option. I guess I could try and find a USB10baseT converter, and use that to plug into the ADSL box, but it's a lot more hassle than just finding something with 2 network ports. A Qube or Netwinder would be great, but both are waaaay overpriced for what I'm after.

  • For some of us (ok, maybe just me) the smaller the better.

    And for others, the quieter the better - which tends to go hand-in-hand with size and power requirements, infortunately. Damn I want a quiet PC.
  • hehe, we are the lovers of the old tactile keyboards that sounded like a anti-aircraft gun chugging out shells as you typed ;)
  • I don't see why this machine is being compared to an iPAQ.. This is a "set-top box" not a handheld. Don't make us all excited for a *NICE* Linux handheld when it isn't anything of the sort.
  • I stand corrected, but I think that it should mention that it is talking about the IPAQ Desktop rather than the "iPAQ" which *I* feel is the handheld :)

  • Itself could it part of the new trend these days the non-pc. Why have a real computer when you can "something better" an easy to use system that is easy to use and set up. This what is to come in the future.

  • And i believe i have a couple of clarifications to make - The espresso also has s-video out, it doesn't have rca, but it has an internal 16-bit soundcard. Saintsong where talking about "linux compabílity" on the espresso too - i havent tried it yet though. Mine is equipped with a dvd docking station, 128m and p3 700mhz, under windows it doesn't feel like a 700, it's actually rather slow but it's kinda cute laying there on my tv playing divx's connected to the wireless k/b and mouse ;) , sucks having to use usb ethernet though...

  • Get the Gateway Connected Home Audio Player thingie. I have one and it's absolutely wunnerful.
  • It looks like a sleek little device - and is cheaper then the iPaq I bought from the shady looking store in NYC.

    Hey those guys aren't shady. It just low overhead. You can get some great deals as long as you know what you are buying. I've gotten discontinued laptops from them for well under $1000.

    Caveat emptor.
  • While the Espresso/Cappucino line is cute, it still lacks monitor/keyboard/mouse. I think the best alternative right now is the Sony Vaio line.

    My Emperor BlackPerl Z (a Vaio 505TR with a custom install of Red Hat 6.2) is slightly smaller than the US-standard letter paper my resume is printed on, and about an inch thick. Weighs about five pounds with the battery on it. Six or seven when you add power supply, port replicator, minimouse (I *hate* glidepads), and floppy drive. No CD, but with 100bT ethernet in the PCMCIA port, and a 6GB HDD (the new ones come with 12), who needs a CD? If you really want one, you can get either a PC-card one (the preferable solution) or a parallel port backpacker (if you HAVE to use 'net and CD at the same time).

    Sony is also selling a palmtop Vaio with a 400MhZ Pentium III or (coming RSN) a 600 MhZ Crusoe... it's about the size of a Disney videotape case, similarly light, with a 1024x480 display and full-size keyboard. Surely that will fit in the tailbag of your Hawg or rice burner. Yeah, they're a little pricey, but they're damn nice boxen. I recommend them if lightness or size takes precedent over Dell's vaunted customer service... which it often does, like our friend the motorcyclist.

    Whaddyamean, it doesn't have two network ports. It's got a pair of USB ports, no? Yeah, yeah, it's not 100BT, but who here has more than a T1 outbound? Not this ubergeek... 100BT on the LAN and USB out via DSL or frame relay makes a _great_ compact SOHO router.

  • Re: the heat buildup and reboot problems. Have you ever noticed that your car fan keeps on running after you shut off the car? That's because there's all that residual heat left in the engine block. Same thing happens with computers.

    If you've got a small computer running at the limit of it's thermal capacity when then fan is on - if it's turned off the temperature can quickly rise if the fan isn't left running. Then the temperature is too warm and problems ensue. You don't see this problem on most machines because they either let the fan run for a little after it's shut off or they can deal with the excess heat (ie big boxen with their (relatively) massive fans and lots of space inside)
  • I had a little compact system like one of these and I ended up scavanging it for parts. It was cool, I liked it, and it was portable (It was a monorail - like this only with a 10.4" flat panel on the frone and a floppy drive), but the power supply on the damn thing blew and they wanted to sell me one for over $200.

    I know - anything that is optimized for weight or whatever is bound to have proprietary parts, but I'd like to see what chipset and some reputation from a company that sells something like this before I would think about buying one again.

    oh yeah - and no PCMCIA slot?

  • That's strange, I thought that SDRAM DIMM's were 168 pin, unless this unit uses the so-called "notebook" DIMMs.
  • ... it's a wearable computer! Ok, so it's a bit larger than most of those, but if the price is really ~ $720 (US), then prepare to be frankenborged. Most of it should be obvious: just find the apropriate data I/O devices, plug them in and place it in an apropriately ventilated bag. Only thing I didn't see was a portable power source (did I just miss it, being just barely awake?) Presumably the device has an internal transformer which takes a little space; open box, remove standard power unit, replace with portable fusion reactor. (What?! didn't get yours?)

    If you've got the $5k for an M2 monitor, you've almost got a sweet wearable for a total of $6k. That doesn't look bad to me; but then neither does cannibalizing by laptop's monitor and making a computer out of one of those nice leather paper pad covers.

    More and more I think the wearable computer market is so small because no one is really trying.

    Caveat: I just woke up. A logic functions are presently reduced to mathematical ones.
  • Then it'll be great for lan parties. No fuss, and very portable.

  • Cisco makes small, set-top box routers. They own the market, for god sakes, they're worth more than Microsoft. Is some little Japanese company going to try and take market share from them? I think not.
  • Their "list price" is usually well above the MSRP, and if you haggle, they'll bring it down, "special for you", to a price just around MSRP. No sweet deal.

    Best you come armed with an ad from a competitor or a national chain showing what street price really is for the item you want.

    Yeah, both the Cappuccino and the Espresso have been discussed quite a bit on the wear-hard mailing list. Alas, the problem is indeed the power consumption: the Cappuccino clocks in at an entirely unacceptable 54W (peak). For comparison, you can build 300 MHz Pentium systems that use less than 10W, and some StrongARM designs are about 1W.

  • www.ibuypower.com sells these.. they are the authorized use reseller. look for the "Pocket EPC-2"
  • After March 24 (release of BSD-based MacOS X) get an iMac or a G4 Cube. Both are fanless; the only noise comes from the speakers (on the iMac) or the Hard Drive.
  • My work bought one of the PocketPC's. it's a nice novelty item - small and good-looking - but little else.

    I encountered 2 problems with it-

    1- It overheats. if you leave it turned on for a while, and then try to reboot, you're out of luck - you'll have to let it cool down for 15-20 minutes before you can power it up again. it just gets way too hot, and i don't see how the Espresso will be any different.
    On a side note, can someone explain to me why it is that when it overheats it hangs on boot up? it seems strange that it works fine while running, but then at boot up it hangs - is it some bios check its doing?

    2- size/shape is unwieldy. See the setup they have in the photo? where it's plugged into the computer? that's fine and all, but the cables are so thick compared to the pocketpc that you really need to brace the pocketpc down, or else it'll end up on the floor, like ours did. (though it is durable! a meter drop to the ground and it's still working!) And of course if you plan on bracing it down, keep in mind it needs lots of ventilation.

    Otherwise, we haven't really found a use for it. sure it's small, but so is a laptop, and a laptop comes with a battery and pcmcia slots as well. I bet this thing would go nicely in your car as an mp3 player, but once summer comes around, it'll just overheat too much.

  • Ok, $700 for the Cappoccino, and $50,000 for my mini-satillite. Hmmm, just about $49,700 shy of what I need.

  • iMacs use 144 pin DIMMs as well.

    The factory installed DIMM (or any DIMM to be installed in the lower (harder to get to) socket requires an Low Profile (skinny ceramic on the ICs) SO-DIMM.

  • What this needs is a cheap "dumb" terminal that folds up like a laptop (keyboard and diplay). Then you'd have a travel machine (DVD,MP3,etc.). But -- I agree -- why not a laptop at that point. Someone should take something like this and glom it onto a cheap projector, then add a wireless keyboard. That would be a cool travel package -- watch 6'x4' DVD on your hotel wall.
  • For some of us (ok, maybe just me) the smaller the better.

    I'm nostalgic for the good old days, when men were men and desktops were built like tanks and the fans sounded like jet engines. Powering up a computer was an event with those things.

    If you go look at the pictures, you will realise this device is hardly larger than the CD drive!

    Any "normal" PC is a large clunky beast in comparison. This thing looks smaller than a Dreamcast.

    I would actually be interested in your thoughts about the Capuccino and the Espresso. I bought an Espresso a while back, and was quite happy with it, although it was a bitch to make it work with the USB ethernet. Were you ever able to make the USB ethernet work when the CD/docking was plugged on? I wasn't, and would appreciate pointers.

  • Well, this actually fits in PERFECTLY with a project I've been working on... a Linux-based car MP3 player. Up till now I was looking at making my own case, complete with removeable hard drive bay, right-angle sound card adapter, and built-in inverter for this.

    MUCH easier if I can just build a docking bay and take the whole computer inside with me. Especially if I can just plug it into my cable modem and use it as my desktop computer, too.

    My only problem is how to figure out whether it's in the bay or not... when I'm in the docking bay, I want to use the infrared port to get ASCII characters from the MP3 player remote, and redirect the output to the parallel port for displaying on my HUD... any ideas of an easy way to do that? Anyone?

    Actually, now that I'm thinking about it, wouldn't that be an awesome use of this thing? Have a built-in disconnected mode where it understands that the input/output paradigm has fundamentally changed. Go from VGA to parallel for graphic or text LCD displays, use the sound output for additional feedback, and come up with several different alternative input methods... the quick list that comes to mind is to use speech recognition, a generic remote decoder, and a USB-based mini keyboard/control board that is flush with the case when plugged in.

    Maybe use the chord system for one-handed typing, plus common player controls which can be useful in so many apps... (previous, next, play/pause, stop, rewind, fast forward) Add a decent battery with a belt clip, and you have a wearable computer.
