Technology has evolved a lot in recent decades. So much so that electronic devices that were once huge can now be made much more dynamic and smaller. One example is computers, which used to be very bulky but are now much more subtle in size, to improve the user experience, whether it is a desktop tower or a laptop. However, we did not expect to see a computer the size of a coin that was capable of even having a screen and that could do many different functions.
It is called Pocuter and it is a pocket computer that, despite its tiny size, can do many things.
A miniature computer
It has a small OLED screen and has both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity. You can even connect a micro SD card with up to 512 GB of space, to increase the storage of the computer.
Its board has three buttons that have different functions : accelerometer, microphone, temperature sensor and ambient light, among others. The accelerometer function helps you know in which direction you are and to detect movement, so it can be an ideal complement when going for a run or a bike ride.
It has a condenser sound microphone that is also used in many Smartphones today. This allows you to set voice commands, dictate text, and record sound. It even has a loudspeaker that allows you to make calls.
Like any electronic device, it could not lack a power source (also very small) to power it with electricity, through a micro USB cable.
Its micro USB port allows you to upload new firmware to the mini computer. There are many types of USB cables, but using a USB Type-C was ruled out not an option for developers as that would have increased the size of the computer.
In terms of its dimensions, it is only 2.6 centimeters high and 2.3 centimeters wide. If the battery is included, the case is 1.1 centimeters thick. The OLED screen has measures of 0.95 inches that offers a resolution of 96 x 64 pixels, being able to render images in three dimensions without problems.
It has 256 KB of internal Flash and 32 KB of SRAM with a 32-bit ARM Cortex M0 + core that runs at 48 MHz. This gives the computer enough power to handle different tasks at the same time.
You can book now
There is even an application store where developers can put their applications there for users who have Pocuter to download them. Some of these applications are calendar , weather forecast, image gallery , Google image search or YouTube subscription counter.
In fact, the company has started a developer contest for anyone who wants to make an application for the mini computer to participate.
If you are interested in this product, you can already reserve it from 39 euros, although there are more offers available to get 2, 3, 5 or 10 units paying 74, 108, 170 or 320 euros respectively.
Should the project go ahead, deliveries are scheduled to take place in December of this year . In addition, shipments are to anywhere in the world, so you do not worry about where you make the reservation from.
