其实要看台湾人在 Computex 上的真正实力的话，就要到小摊位去找（今年是在一馆的二楼和四馆的三楼）。相较于一楼那些以「商品展示」为主的大厂，这里的小摊位其实才是外国买家寻宝的好地方，也是 Computex 上真正进行交易的一级战场。当然小姜一个记者在里头晃来晃去就有些奇怪了，还有一个小摊位的人很好奇的说：「喔～原来记者证是绿色的啊...」大概是一般记者都不会来采访这种地方吧？

上头这只 KME 的键盘就挺有趣的。平时是一个闪亮闪亮的键盘盖，打开后就变成腕垫。继续看下去，还有更多台湾来的好东西喔！

As we've always said, the big booths get all the attention, but it's the small ones that get all the fun. Here's a good collection of peripherals from the obscure little companies. The KME keyboard above, for example, has a shiny cover that doubles as a palmrest when opened. Click on for more!

经过展场人员推荐 MSI 这款 PR200 12.1 寸笔记本电脑，得到德国 reddot 设计奖项，乍听之下实在让我们有点惊讶，因为 PR200 真的不是一台有设计质感的产品。不过当我们拿下所谓设计的滤镜之后，发现 MSI PR200 还是有些值得提点的特色，击点全文看 PR200 特色陈述以及下面高分辨率图库：

The MSI PR200 12.1" notebook is a bit on the heavy side, weighing in at 1.8kg, but it does pack a few specialties unseen on other notebooks of its class, including a HDMI port, DVB-T, and a built-in 3G / 3.5G module.

虽然我们已经带大家去 MSI 微星科技逛过一圈，不过爱瘾科技的内行玩家们一定都知道，往往某些饭店内的小房间才是重点所在。如上图这款 Wireless PC to TV 产品，让使用笔记本电脑或台式机的朋友，可以即刻透过 WiFi的方式串流影片到电脑上，目前该款产品透过 802.11g 速率传输，最高可达 720p 的分辨率画质。嗯...有 Apple TV 的味道吧，希望未来能推出 802.11n 传输标准的产品。击点全看其它视频相关产品：

"Wirelessly stream video from PC to TV". Sounds a lot like the Apple TV, eh? But in fact this little black box from MSI does a bit less. All it streams via 802.11g or LAN to your TV is the current screen on your PC or laptop -- think of it as a wireless VGA port -- though it does has the capability of streaming 720p. While you may not have the control as you would with Apple TV (You'll have to walk to your PC to play, pause, stop, etc.), it does look like a cheap alternative that does roughly the same thing.

谈起微星的 MP3 就让我们想起那个 C/P 超高的 MP3 产品。上图 MS-5604 在设计上难免不让人感觉到有 SONY 的影子，包括外型和 OLED 屏幕都是，不过这也别太苛责，这是设计的成长之路，乖孩子，以后要走出自己的风采啊！MS-5604 最大的优点采用 Sanyo 的低耗能芯片，一颗 AAA 电池就可以使用长达 50 个小时，续航力相当优秀。

MS-5604 支持 MP3/WMA 格式，且支持 DRM 版权保护机制，并提供 512MB/1GB/2GB 三种格式。MS-5604 也有录音和广播功能。最后让我们击点全文看看这款 MP3 播放器最有趣的特色：

MSI also makes MP3 players, though the design of this MS-5604 could use a bit more originality.

看到上图这款 Linux 手机，是我们最兴奋的一件事，只因为概念上的创新与突破。由台湾大众电脑投资成立的 openmoko 公司，专门研发真正开放原始码的 Linux 手机－Neo 1973 就是第一款开发出的机型。Neo 1973 最大的特色在于这款产品只是一个原型的概念，但包括 GPS 模块、WiFi 模块等硬件概念都已经设计在其中。如果有厂商想要开发专门的 GPS 手机，就能用 Neo 1973 为基础发展而出，可说是解放硬件的重要表现。

接下来就是大家相当熟习的软件开放原始码的概念，这次是行动式软件，在永续修正的观念下，参与开放原始码的社群都能一起为这个 Linux 行动平台加诸新的软件和应用功能。有趣的是，使用者想要执行认一款行动 Linux 软件的话，只要在任何可接连无线网络（或 GPRS）的地方就可以直接下载，也是目前智能型手机未尝试过的创新手法。击点下面图库看更多 Neo 1973 的照片，击点全文有 Neo 1973 实际操作影片：

• quad-band GSM/GPRS module
• Samsung S3C2410 SoC
• 128MB RAM/64M flash
• 64MB MicroSD
• 2.8" VGA touchscreen

This concept smartphone by openmoko has an innovative new idea: Why not make a smartphone based on opensource Linux? The manufacturer of the phone -- FIC -- will provide drivers to all the hardware, and openmoko will serve as the opensource community in which applications can be developed. Another interesting idea is that the phone links directly to a central application repositary via WiFi or WWAN networks, allowing immediate download, installation and updates without the hassle of a PC. The first such concept phone, the Neo 1973, has specs as shown above.

看看 Acer 推出的 LCD 液晶屏幕，从 19 寸到 26 寸，全部都长得一个样，这可厉害了吧！没错，这就是宏碁的特色，没什么好说的，这次 COMPUTEX 展示一系列机种中，26 寸 和 24 寸为目前市场较少的机种，分辨率都达 1920 x 1200，其中 26 寸的 AL2623W 灰阶反应时间达到 5ms（24寸的 AL2423W 为 6ms），对比也拉高到 1600:1。击点全文看屏幕细节，下面图库有更多方向照片：

The whole Acer LCD lineup, from 19" all the way to 26", all look exactly the same (apart from screen size, of course). That's Acer indeed! The 26" 1920x1200 AL2623W has quite an unusual size, but it does have a nice response time of 5ms and a contrast of 1600:1.

投影机系列，轻薄机种 Acer PD323 仅重 1.3 公斤、输出 XGA 画质、开机后仅要 30 秒内就能投射完成。S-video 和 D-sub 输入已是基本，DP323 并附上遥控器。击点全文看其它投影机：

Most notable of the Acer projectors is the PD323. Weighing in at a mere 2.86 pounds, it projects XGA quality video, and takes input from D-sub, composite and s-video sources.

除了散发宝石以外，Acer 笔记本电脑还有推出一款相当有趣的基座 ezDock 2，该款基座乍看之下好像一台打印机，很难想象是款基座，和我们一般想象中的不一样。ezDock 2 采用我们好久不见的串行端口和 COM1， PS/2 接头和 VGA 输出、音效和麦克风输出和 LAN 也有，先进的 DVI 、S-Video 输出、6 个 USB 槽全都有（后面 4 个，侧边 2 个），大小头 IEEE 1394 全都有，最后当然不能缺少光驱。这款基座拥有全部I/O端口，相信目标市场是放在商业型组织来使用。

击点看搭配 ezDock 2 的笔记本电脑，下面图库有 ezDock 2 各个 I/O 槽的照片：

There's another interesting bit from Acer's notebook division besides the gemstone: This interestion dock called the ezDock2. It's size is enormous by notebook dock standards, and we actually mistook it as a photo printer at first glance. A variety of legacy ports such as com1 and ps/2 are avaliable, as well as D-sub, DVI, S-video, audio-out, mic-in, IEEE 1394, and 6 USB ports (four on the back , and two on the sides). It also has an optical drive built in, which probably explains its size.

不让华硕专美于前，MSI 也推出了自已的笔电外接式显卡 Luxium。Luxium 的运作原理和 XG Station 一样，都是通过 ExpressCard 插槽的 PCIe x1 和笔记本电脑连接，并将加速后的影像输出到外接的屏幕上。MSI 的外壳比较大，差不多是一台喷墨打印机的大小，不过感觉起来内部空间比较大的 Luxium 可能在未来会比 XG Station 更容易接纳各种品牌的显卡。除了显卡之外，Luxium 还有两个 USB port 和 一个网络插孔，并且内置了声卡，除了 7.1 声道输出外，还提供了 SPDIF IN/OUT 和光纤输入等，算是非常多功能的装置。

显然地 MSI 瞄准的是和 Asus 一样的市场：出门是小巧的笔记本电脑，回家插上 Luxium 就变成完整的游戏平台。目前微星也只打算将 Luxium 搭配自家的特定型号显卡上市（主要是散热的考虑），但还不知道会是什么时候，或售价大约是多少。

Not to let Asus have all the fun, MSI introduced their version of an external notebook video card. It works in pretty much the same manner as the ASUS XG Station -- connecting to your notebook via the ExpressCard port and outputing video to an external screen -- but in a bigger, more boxy form that somewhat resembles an inkjet printer. It maybe a bit large, but MSI representatives say that this allows for better ventilation, and would allow for easier installation of custom video cards in the future. In addition to being an external video adapter, Luxium also has a LAN port, 2 usb ports, and a 7.1 channel sound card built in, allowing for more versatile use of the system. No price or date is set, but we do know that it would hit the market as a Luxium-MSI video card package first, "due to heat dissipation concerns".

Acer 本次展出的 GPS 导航仪当中，最特别的就是上图该款法拉力版本的 GPS 导航仪，不过该款产品和法拉力电脑不同，并不是重头设计的新产品，而是 Acer c500 导航仪。c500 的采用 2.8 寸 QVGA 屏幕、可透过蓝牙和 802.11 b/g 无线网络、SD 存储卡插槽以及 ALK CoPilot v6.0 导航软件（声控导航、实时路况信息、POI 外围地点标示以及 NAVTEQ 数字地图）。

Of all the GPS devices displayed by Acer, the Farrari branded one above stood out the most, but unlike Acer's Farrari notebooks, this one isn't developed from scratch, just an Acer c500 with red trimmings. Still, the specs look decent, with a 2.8" QVGA screen, 802.11 b/g WiFi network, Bluetooth, SD card slot, and ALK CoPilot v6.0 Navigation software.

在 Intel 的展示会场上，芬兰公司 EB 带了四台完全可以运作的 MID 样机来给大家玩一玩。不过 EB 只是提出了一个参考设计证明自已有这个实力，并不打算真的生产这台机器（它连个名字都没有 XD）。他们的角色是在有制造商有兴趣时，提供顾问服务而已，因此这台机器恐怕未来就算真的上市，也大概不会是现在这个样子。

规格上，这台小机器采用的是 4.8" 的 1024x600 屏幕，采用红旗 Linux，除了有 WiFi、BT 和 GPS 之外，视机种还可以内置 WiMax 或 HSDPA WWAN 网络。跳转后还有这台小东西播影片和看图片的影片喔～

On the Intel MID press event, a couple of EB's new MID showed up, and the EB people were kind enough to let us snap a few shots of it. Since EB has no intentions of bringing it to market, it is only a "reference design" to prove that EB has the technology, and they wish to assist any interested manufacturer of similar products only as a consultant. A few more specs to round things up: The resolution of the screen is 1024x600, the OS is Red Flag Linux, and it has a 3.5mm headphone port.

Video of its "gesture controlled slidshow" and movie player after the break.

Intel 2007 年 Computex 上，找来了微型移动装置事业群总经理 Anand Chandrasekher 阐述未来移动上网技术趋势，给大家好好介绍一下到底 MID 是虾米。简单来说，MID 是一台「不强迫使用 Windows 的 UMPC」，在脱掉 Windows 的包袱后，可以看得出机台 MID 的概念机都更有特色，感觉更像一台台大画面的 PDA，而不像一台小型的 PC。在展示的产品除了 Menlow 的产品外，还顺便展示了几台先前发布的 McCaslin 平台 UMPC，只是说实话，在 Menlow 之前，McCaslin 看起来实在有些尴尬。

点继续阅读看几台小机器的介绍，或是直接看图库吧！
