The Modular Computing Core (MCC) is the most advanced mobile computer on the market. It contains all the normal features of a desktop computer: a processor, a hard drive, memory, video card, audio card, Windows XPTM Professional, and more. But it is an amazingly compact replacement for that big computer box under your desk.

Aside from the small size, what is unique is the modularity. The external power supply, the visual display, the communications and input/output connectors are all packaged separately from the core, and are transformed into modular shells and accessories that you choose based on your individual preferences and work environment.

The MCC has the functionality of a normal desktop computer, but it is condensed into a small 7.6 x 12.7 x 1.9 cm (3" x 5" x 3/4") package that is very similar to the size of a PDA or laptop battery. Low power consumption makes it ideal for portable applications that allow you to be in locations other than your desk. The MCC is also very intelligent, automatically identifying and adapting to attached Shells and devices. Its operating system, power management, thermal, software and user interface behavior will automatically match your attached shell or accessory.

The MCC runs the full Windows XPTM Professional operating system, so when you use it with the desktop cradle or handheld, you'll be using the same user interface and applications that you've come to depend on. It also makes possible a broad range of mobile, fixed location, industrial and non-traditional computing experiences.
