[Topik unik] - la futur "console" portable de VIA-
____________________________________________________________
le plus petit pc portable du monde
Personnelement les fonctionalitées de cette console me plaisent beaucoup plus que la psp: DD 20GO, possibilté de lire tout les formats existant sur PC!! DivX, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, wmv, avi, wma, and mp3... . Elle est équipée d'un slot smartcard et compact flash et même de l'usb 2, sortie video composite etc, resolution de 640*480 sur un écran 4". La compatibilité avec le PC est total! de quoi ridiculisé les fonctionnalités multimedia de la psp.
Les performances 2D/3D sur le papier sont assez impressionantes, largement de quoi faire tourner l'émulation en tout genre (snes, megadrive, neogeo, mame(l'arcade), n64,...):whistle: ou les portages de jeu pc 3D!(doom,duke nukem, quake2, voir peut être quake3) sans compter les jeux spécialement developper pour et les soft dev en free, agenda lecteur audio/video...
le DD à de quoi stocker 100 film divx ou 5000mp3
A titre indicatif le prix de l'ipod 20go de 425 euros et de iRIVER iHP-120,20 Go également à partir de 365 euros :

Bref tout ce que vous pouve faire avec un pc de puissance équivalaente vous pourrez le faire avec cette "console" à mon avis, avec une version pliable pas comme le concept present ci dessous et une bonne distribution en europe, ça risque d'être la bonne surprise!
"Les rumeurs sur une éventuelle entrée de VIA sur le marché des consoles portables se confirment. VIA va effectivement sortir une console portable, mais légèrement différente : elle est basée sur une architecture X-86. En clair, la console portable de VIA, "Eve", est un PC !
Les spécifications de l’engin sont toutes précisément indiquées sur le site de Via Technologies. La console promet de belles performances sur le papier, mais sont avantage résidera surtout dans la possibilité de lire des fichiers videos et audios dans tous les formats supportés initialement sur PC ! (X-86 oblige)
- CPU Eden-N 533MHz, 133MHz de FSB
- 128MB SDRAM DDR266

Bien sûr on pourra faire tout type de transferts, notamment jouer en réseau par le Wi-Fi et l’USB 2.0. La console est plus grande qu’un GameBoy, mais VIA se défend en avançant l’avantage de proposer un écran d’autant plus grand, d’une résolution de 640*480 pixels. Autre détail d’importance, les batteries, Lithium-Ion, pourront être changées à chaud, sans interrompre ses activités sur la console. Deux packs de batteries seront livrées dans le bundle.
VIA annonce que cette console pourra faire office de baladeur audio/vidéo et qu'elle pourra faire fonctionner les jeux PC peu gourmand grâce à son système Windows XP embarqué.

"Functionality & Performance
Powered by the VIA Eden-N processor and VIA CN400 digital media chipset, the Eve Mobile Gaming Console delivers unprecedented levels of gaming and entertainment application performance in a handheld device form factor. Highlights include:
· Compelling PC Gaming Experience: The robust 2D/3D graphics engine in the S3 Graphics UniChrome Pro Integrated Graphics Core (IGP) enables a compelling PC gaming experience at resolutions of up to 640x480 on the device's 4" TFT screen.
· Rich Visual Entertainment Experience: Hardware MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 acceleration in the Chromotion CE Visual Display Engine ensures a rich visual experience when viewing films, videos, recorded TV shows, and photos in all the most popular file digital media formats, such as including DivX, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, wmv, avi, wma, and mp3.
· Immersive Audio Experience: With support for up to six channels, VIA Vinyl Audio delivers exceptional output quality through headphones or external speakers when listening to music, watching films, and playing games.
· High Capacity Storage: With its 20GB Hard Disk Drive, the Eve Mobile Gaming Console provides ample space for storing an extensive library of PC game applications and entertainment content such as recorded TV programs, movies, home videos, music, and photos.
· Secure & Convenient Online Gaming Downloads: With its integrated wireless support, the Eve Mobile Gaming Console delivers high speed connections to the GameDweller Network for fast and secure file downloads and on-line multiplayer gaming.
· Superior Connectivity: With two USB2.0 ports and CompactFlash Type II slot, the Eve Mobile Gaming Console can be easily connected to a PC, notebook, or home server, plus a wide variety of peripherals such as digital cameras and digital video cameras for the installation of gaming applications and rapid data transfers.
· PC Extendibility: With the installation of an external USB keyboard and mouse, the Eve Mobile Gaming Console further extends its functionality by being able to run a number of PC applications such as web browsing and word processing.
Small Size
The small size advantage of devices such as the GameBoy or N-Gage is counter-balanced by their inevitably small, relatively low-resolution screen that limits the quality of games and makes for an inferior video playback experience. While still fairly compact, the Eve Mobile Gaming Console integrates a larger 4" TFT LCD screen, allowing it to fit easily into a knapsack or carry-bag yet enabling a higher quality visual experience for gaming or watching movies.
Stylish Yet Practical Design
The duality of the sleek Meyerhoffer design makes a sophisticated style statement while lending itself for highly practical multi-purpose usage. Compared to a notebook, Eve offers a far superior ease-of-use experience in mobile environments, not suffering from the clumsiness and weight factors often associated with notebooks, as well as their lack of ergonomics in non-flat surface applications such as, ironically, upon one's lap. At the same time, the balanced case design of the Eve Console enables it to stand independently on a flat surface such as the table on the back of an airplane or train seat.
New Mobile Gaming & Entertainment Experiences
With its ability to play an extensive range of PC games and video, music, and photography file formats, the Eve Mobile Gaming Console opens up exciting possibilities for compelling new mobile gaming and entertainment experiences, including:
· Enjoying online multiplayer games over a wireless network from the comfort of a coffee shop or living room sofa
· Transferring a recorded TV program from the hard drive of a DVR, Set Top Box, or Media Center PC to the Eve Mobile Gaming Console so that it can be viewed on the morning commute to work.
· Storing favorite TV episodes or films on the console hard drive so that the kids can watch them on a long car journey.
· Saving collections of family photos and home video files on the console, so that these digital memories can be conveniently shared with relatives, friends, and colleagues
