Four by six inches in size, the Graphics Client Plus is a work-horse single board computer used in vehicle computers, web tablets, automation systems and dozens of other applications. The Graphics Client Plus includes a StrongARM SA1110 processor, up to 3 serial ports, on-board Ethernet, CAN and IrDA, PCMCIA, USB slave, “smart” real-time I/O, and integrated flat panel and touch screen support.

Lineo Embedix Plus for SHDs, will incorporate Lineo Embedix SDK, Insignia Jeode™ Java Virtual Machine technologies, Trolltech Qt/Embedded™ graphical user interface and the Opera 5 for Linux Web browser. The platform has been developed to provide manufacturers with a complete solution to quickly produce SHDs, PDAs and other information appliances.
