Android PC the size of a USB flash

 If you though they were getting small wait for 2012 to see this.
A norwegian company has designed a mini-device that can be used for hardware emulation of Android OS.

 Cotton Candy by FXI looks like a USB flash, BUT its a right and proper PC with ARM processor Samsung Exynos at 1.2 GHZ, 4-core Mali-400 MP graphics chip, microSD slod, HDMI port, Wi-Fi and BlueTooth.

Норвежка компания създаде миниатюрно устройство, което може да се използва като хардуeрен емулатор на операционна система Android. It works under Android 2.3 and can be attached to a laptop, PC or even TV. So far its a prototype, expected as I said in 2012 for roughly 200 dollars.



Миниатюрният компютър се очаква на пазара през втората половина на 2012 година на цена под 200 долара. Показаният прототип все още няма достъп до Android Market, но финалният продукт вероятно ще предложи такъв.

Size does equal success - 1/3 of Google's products have failed

While Google is an indisputable giant, from 251 products released so far since 1998, 36% or 90 have so far been deemed a failed experiment. A ratio of 1 market failure per 2 successes makes many think that Google

 purposely entered some of these niches simply to test them, basically going after everything knowing that some projects will inevitably be faulty, but the rest will thrive with a fair ammount of trial and error in the way.
So far the formula seems to work for Google. When competitors like Microsoft invested billions in various product offers of Bing, Google has multiple alternatives. 

   Still, ccriticism of this practice is somewhat justified, and not coincidentally the past failures of Google would affect Google +. Google had nothing of similar scale to Gmail for a while. A possible Google + meltdown might sever Google's ambitions to develop as more than a search engine.
