Experience Crusoe


Vaio C1MSX mit eigenem mpeg2 chip


Following in the footsteps of other VIAO Crusoe subnotebooks, Sony recently released yet another model into the Japanese markets with a Crusoe sticker on the box - the VIAO PCG-C1MSX which is powered by a 867MHz TM5800 Crusoe processor. This particular model boats a TV-tuner and external port replicator so you can watch and record TV over the small 8.9" XGA LCD display.





As I understand the Japanese reports after they have gone through Bablefish, the PCG-C1MSX can be set to record TV programs which it then compresses with a hardware MPEG-2 encoder to more manageable sizes. The 720x480 TV recordings can be played back at a later time, or simply stored on the VAIO`s 40GB hard drive. Assuming a 20GB free partition on the hard drive the maximum recording time sits at about 11 hours, or about 5 hours at high resolution. Sound quality during playback is supposed to be pretty good reports ZDnet Japan.


Battery life of up to 13.5 hours is possible with this notebook as long as the largest external battery is used. A standard battery will give users about 2-4 hours of work time depending on what they are doing. All CD-ROM`s and floppy drives are external, but the PCG-C1MSX does come with a memory stick slot for flash storage.Video is provided by an 8MB ATI Mobility Radeon-M chipset and the unit weighs just under 1 kilo.

Toshiba TabletPC


Product: Toshiba Paperback Tablet
Concept PC: Transmeta Crusoe/500 CPU, 64MB RAM, Linux operating system, 6.5- inch front-lit color touch-screen display, PC Card and SD card slots
Price: Not available
Company Info: 800-867-4422, www.toshiba.com






Toshiba believes there`s a market for devices smaller than an ultraportable but bigger than a PDA. With its aptly named paperback tablet concept, Toshiba is testing the reaction to a product that could be used either as a data viewer and input device for medical, insurance, service, and maintenance professionals or serve as an executive go-everywhere device for e-mail and Web browsing.

At 1 by 8 by 5 inches and 1.6 pounds (2.2 pounds road weight), the Toshiba Paperback Tablet is the size of a paperback book. Inside you`ll see that the author has dedicated this book neither to Intel nor to Microsoft. The CPU is a 500-MHz Transmeta Crusoe, and the operating system is Linux, with an Opera browser and a small suite of applications: a notepad, a handwriting capture and recognition program, scheduler, and e-mail client. Wireless Ethernet is built in, along with PC Card and SD card slots, a USB connector for the supplied external keyboard, mic input and headphone output jacks, and a proprietary VGA connector requiring an adapter dongle. The system has no rotating storage, though it includes 64MB of RAM; you can add storage via an SD or a PC Card.

The illuminated 6.5-inch display has 800-by-480 resolution (a 10:6 aspect ratio). Next to it is a game pad–like cursor button and four programmable hotkeys.

The interface is visually different than the Windows standard, but the concepts aren`t hard to figure out. Self-evident icons aligned at the very top—a clock, a world-wide globe (Web browser), an envelope—launch key applications. Below, three tabs provide access to applications, system functions, and the Internet.

The tablet came semipermanently attached to a leather jacket that extends a quarter inch beyond the unit and provides modest drop protection. A flip-up easel stand lets you adjust the display to three angles besides flat on the table.

The Toshiba Paperback Tablet is a trial balloon to see who`s interested in the world halfway between PDAs and notebooks. Previous keyboard iterations have had modest success, but that was before the emergence of Ethernet 802.11b wireless and the onslaught of e-mail.

OQO ModulPC



It features a 1GHz microprocessor, 256MB of memory, a 10GB hard drive, a 4-inch color touch-screen and wireless connections to the Internet and other computer networks. Rechargeable lithium polymer batteries will power the unit for 3 to 9 hours depending on usage.







Two companies, industry stalwart IBM and a tiny startup called OQO (pronounced "oh-que-oh") Corp., are working to produce so-called "modular computers." These devices pull out the vital PC components — the microprocessor, memory, and hard drive — and place them into a package typically no larger than a stack of index cards.

By separating a computer`s heart, soul and mind from the rest of the parts, proponents of modular design say it will lead to truly personal computers.

For example, a worker with one modular core computer could replace two separate computers at the home and office. Slip it into a docking station attached to a monitor and keyboard and the user would have access to the same data at work or at home.

Need to work while traveling? Slip the core into a laptop "shell" and it would function just like an ordinary portable computer. If a mobile user needs something more compact, the core could be slipped into a tiny "cradle" with a touch sensitive screen and act like a handheld computer.

Module computing isn`t entirely new. Some companies have experimented with the concept since the early days of portable computing. But the rapid advances in computer technology are making modular computers a much more attractive — and commercially feasible — possibility.

A PC In Your Pocket?

Earlier this week, San Francisco-based OQO showed off a prototype of its modular computer to attendees at a Microsoft conference. The "ultra-personal computer" device measures approximately 3 inches by 5 inches by 1 inch — roughly the same size as many handheld computers such as 3Com`s Palm Pilot.

But unlike those devices, OQO`s module is a complete computer. It features a 1GHz microprocessor, 256MB of memory, a 10GB hard drive, a 4-inch color touch-screen and wireless connections to the Internet and other computer networks. Rechargeable lithium polymer batteries will power the unit for 3 to 9 hours depending on usage.

And instead of a special operating software, the tiny OQO computer uses Microsoft Windows XP — the same basic software used in a clear majority of desktop and portable computers. That means OQO`s module can run popular software programs such as Microsoft Word and manipulate common computer files.

"This is a full Windows XP computer that fits in a pocket," says Colin Hunter, executive vice president of OQO. And he says that to get a computer to that size, the company`s engineers — some of whom designed Apple`s successful Titanium Powerbook laptop — had to do "a lot of engineering work." But computer parts developed for ultra- thin notebook computers also helped.

Not About Speed

For instance, the OQO`s processor is a chip produced by Transmeta Corp. specifically for tiny computers. The processor uses specially coded software programs that adjust the speed of the chip as needed. By slowing down the processor during idle times, less power is needed from the batteries and allows the computer to run longer.

And Hunter says that since computer components such as the Transmeta Crusoe processor are commonly used in other commercially available portable computers, it wouldn`t be too long before OQO`s module becomes a retail product. Hunter says a commercial version of OQO — complete with a docking station — should be ready by the end of the year for about $1,000 to $1,200.

Industry analyst Rob Enderle with the Giga Information Group believes that the time is right for such innovative computers.

While corporate and personal computer purchases over the past few years use to be based on faster performance, "It`s not about speed anymore," he says. Instead, he believes that users are looking for ways to stay connected to their "personal" data — whether it is work-related spreadsheets or digital photos of the family.

And that`s a role that can easily filled by a modular computer which is small enough to be carried anywhere yet can "convert" into an appropriate computer format from desktop to handheld. "Modular computers transform the personal nature of computers," says Enderle.

More Than Just a PC?

Still, others are taking things a bit slower.

In February, IBM had announced its own module computer device called MetaPad. Similar to OQO`s device, the MetaPad also features a Transmeta Crusoe processor, a 10GB hard drive and the ability to use standard Windows XP software.

But Kenneth Ocheltree, the project leader for IBM`s MetaPad, says that the company is still doing a lot more research — particularly in discovering what new roles the devices may be suited for beyond the traditional PC realm.

For example, he and his team have been testing MetaPads that can accept voice commands and even translate speech to computer text. Such a MetaPad capability might be useful for those who need a tiny computer to do foreign language translations. Other versions of MetaPad might work in cars to aid in navigation, for example.

"We haven`t really fixed what this thing will be," says Ocheltree. And without that understanding, module computers such as MetaPad could easily flop much like other revolutionary computer concepts such as the early pen-based computers.

"There was a number of failures in pen-devices before Palm [Pilots] came out," says Ocheltree. "We don`t want to just drop something out to the market."

Consors News X


Chiphersteller Transmeta weitet Verluste aus


Der amerikanische Chiphersteller Transmeta, der vor allem im Bereich Mobile-Chips für Notebooks aktiv ist, meldete gestern nach Börsenschluss einen Verlust von 23 Cents je Aktie oder 30,9 Mio. Dollar. Verglichen mit dem Vorjahreszeitraum entspricht dies einem deutlichen Anstieg von über 8 Mio. Dollar.

Aufgrund von Produktionsproblemen entwickelte sich auch der Umsatz extrem schlecht. Er ging von 18 Mio. Dollar auf 4,1 Mio. Dollar zurück.

Wegen dieser schlechten Zahlen kam die Aktie im nachbörslichen Handel stark unter Druck und verlor fast 17 Prozent auf 2,75 Dollar. Kurz nach dem IPO wurde die Aktie noch bei über 40 Dollar gehandelt.

1. Die Produktionsprobleme wurden Ende Januar behoben, d.h. Transmeta produziert jetzt mit steigender Zahl Crusoes.

2. Der Umsatz von Q4 2001 betrug $1.5 Mill. Die $4.1 Mill des Q1 2002 sind also eine Umsatzsteigerung von mehr als 150%, und zeigen deutlich das die Probleme beseitigt worden sind.

3. Die Umsatzsteigerung für Q2 2002 soll mindestens 60% betragen.

4. Weitere Produkte sind in der pipeline aus dem Bereich TabletPC (Toshiba, Compaq etc.) und embedded design.

5. Laut Konferenz (siehe www.transmeta.com) wird ein neuer Chip, der TM6000 in 70-90 Tagen in grösseren Volumen produziert.

6. In der zweiten Hälfte 2002 wird es einen dritten Chip geben, der jetzt under den Codenamen Astro steht. (höre CC)

7. Für mich eine klare Turnaround story. Naja, wiegesagt poste ich hier nicht um irgendjemanden zu motivieren, Aktien zu kaufen. Mir ist es ehrlich gesagt egal ob Ihr Geld verdient oder nicht. Die paar hundert oder tausend Aktien, die Ihr handelt werden den grossen Float nicht bewegen können. Wenn jemand diese Aktie aber hält, schadet es nicht soviel wie möglich darüber zu wissen. Ich bin hier längerfristig drin und bin von der Technologie begeistert und hoffe das Transmeta ihr Geschäftsziel erreicht.

8. Zwar ging der Kurs auf von $3.3 auf $2.8 nach dem Bericht. Im laufe der Woche stieg er aber von $2.5 auf $2.8 und das sind mehr als 10%. Die Aktie ist nunmal volatil und hält sich gerade sehr schön über ihren 200 Tage gleitenden Durchschnitt bei $2.77

9. Folgend mal ein nicht so negatives Presse Echo:


Transmeta (TMTA) shares are getting knocked 50 cents, or 15 percent lower to $2.79 after running up 34 percent in the prior three trading sessions. After Thursday`s closing bell, the Santa Clara, Calif., microprocessor technology firm reported a pro forma loss of $23.2 million, or 17 cents a share, in the first quarter, in line with Wall Street`s consensus estimate. But the company also disclosed management shake-up. It said that Merle McClendon plans to resign from the chief financial officer post at the end of May to pursue other interests. Svend-Olav Carlsen was named acting CFO beginning June 1. This news follows its appointment of Matthew Perry as president and CEO on April 10. Revenue swelled to $4.1 million in the latest three months from $1.5 million in the same period a year earlier. On an actual basis, including $7.7 million in non-cash charges, Transmeta lost $30.9 million, or 23 cents a share, in the third quarter, wider than its equivalent loss of $22.7 million, or 18 cents a share, in the same period a year earlier. Analyst Brian Alger at Pacific Growth Equities reiterated his "buy" rating on the stock. "With $216 million in cash and a truly unique technology, Transmeta has a considerably higher future value than the current $438 million market cap indicates, in our opinion," Barnes said in a note to clients.

Toshiba Libretto L5/080TNKW und Libretto L5/080TNLN vorgestellt


Wednesday April 24, 2002






Wireless notebooks are the future, and the two new Libretto L5 series from Toshiba are just one more step in that direction. The L5 Series Model 080TNKW specifically features built in 802.11b wireless lan capabilities with 128-bit WEP encryption.

Wireless is a power hungry process so it will be interesting to see how battery life is augmented between normal operation of the Toshiba Libretto L5 and when it is connected to the network wirelessly. For the record, the L5 series are spec`d out at 4.5 to 13.5 hours depending on the battery size.

Both Libretto L5 notebooks were introduced in Japan today with only a few points separating them - essentially one version has wireless, and the other does not.

What you get for your hard earned money ($1000- $1300USD) is a Transmeta TM5800 Crusoe processor running at 800MHz, 256MB of SDRAM (expandible to 512MB), a 20GB ATA66 hard drive, and a 10.5" XGA LCD display capable of 1280×600 resolutions.

The L5/080TNKW weighs just under 3 pounds and comes loaded with Windows XP home edition.

In the first few months of this year Transmeta experienced a lot of problems keeping up with its ability to deliver TM5800 processors to manufacturers like Toshiba in volume. The release of the Toshiba L5 is a very good signal for Transmeta who has had its stock shrunk down to about $2.60 from an initial price of $40/share.

Subnotebooks like the L5 measure just 20-30mm thick and are extremely portable. The low power requirements that the 0.13micron process Transmeta Crusoe processor bring to the table help to make these types of notebooks long lasting, and yet still fully capable of handling the tasks of a out-of-office employee.

Ten O`Clock Tech
A Silent Desktop PC
Arik Hesseldahl, 05.09.02, 10:00 AM ET

NEW YORK - As great as they are, PCs have an endless list of annoying qualities that have nothing to do with the frustrating and often crash-prone software they run.

One of those annoyances is noise. Most desktop PCs have a fast microprocessor chip busily crunching numbers and executing millions of instructions every second. It`s hard work for a piece of silicon smaller than a postage stamp. The harder a chip works, the hotter it gets, and that heat is generally kept at bay by a noisy fan.

Noisy computers are apparently a big issue in Japan, where the workplace tends to be a little more crowded than U.S. workers are used to. Cubicles apparently aren`t the standard allotment of space, and co-workers--and their whirring computers--are likely to be in each other`s faces throughout the day.

Japanese PC maker NEC yesterday announced a desktop computer called the Mate, which is designed to be silent. There`s no fan cooling the processor, and the hard drive is constructed without noisy elements such as ball bearings, in order to keep its movement as quiet as possible. And, in a nod to another crucial point about PC design in Japan, the PC components are all built into the frame of a flat-panel display, saving space.

The computer is a big design win for U.S.-based chipmaker Transmeta (nasdaq: TMTA - news - people ), which has traditionally landed its chip designs in small notebook PCs and other portable devices like Web tablets and so-called Internet appliances of every shape and size. This is the first desktop PC to use Transmeta`s Crusoe processor.

As luck would have it, the Crusoe chip is designed to regulate its power consumption intelligently by changing its clock speed as the need for computing power fluctuates. Among other things, that helps keep the chip cool, eliminating the need for a fan. That`s also a useful feature for Japanese companies that are conscious of expensive electricity.

The Mate is available only as a build-to-order product directly from NEC-- and only in Japan. But NEC, like most Japanese electronics manufacturers, often launches a product in Japan before bringing it to the U.S. Prices start at the equivalent of about $1,900 for machines running Microsoft`s (nasdaq: MSFT - news - people ) Windows XP Pro edition, lower for machines with Windows XP Home edition.

Transmeta Crusoe Supercomputer

Reuters Company News
Transmeta to power HP Tablet PC, cracks US market

SAN FRANCISCO, June 3 (Reuters) - Upstart microchip designer Transmeta Corp. (NasdaqNM:TMTA - News) has cracked the market for U.S. notebook computers in a deal to supply processors for Hewlett-Packard Co.`s (NYSE:HPQ - News) Tablet PC, the companies said on Monday.


Transmeta, which is weathering a management shake-up and recovering from production glitches of its low-power chips, will ship its first gigahertz chips, performing a billion operations per second, with the EVO Tablet PC, which will be released later this year under the Compaq brand.

U.S. buyers until Monday had snubbed Transmeta`s Crusoe chips, initially seen as a real challenge to Intel Corp. (NasdaqNM:INTC - News), leaving Transmeta relying on Japanese customers like Sony Corp. (Tokyo:6758.T - News) and Toshiba Corp. (Tokyo:6502.T - News).

"For Transmeta it is a big deal, because people have been saying, `when are you going to get a big U.S. customer` and we not only have a U.S. customer, we have the No. 1 leader in notebooks with HP here," said Dave Ditzel, Transmeta founder and chief technology officer, in an interview.

Production problems delayed the latest Crusoe chip by months, sending Transmeta revenue for the first quarter down 78 percent from a year earlier to $4.1 million and helping to widen the quarter`s loss by 36 percent to $30.9 million.

TABLET AIMS TO REPLACE PAPER

The Tablet PC announced by Microsoft Corp. (NasdaqNM:MSFT - News) and hardware partners incorporates drawing and handwriting recognition into the Windows XP operating system in an attempt to add features of a physical notebook pad to a computer.

Manufactures have shown off prototypes varying from a traditional notebook with a screen that can swivel 180 degrees to allow writing to a pad without a keyboard that looks like a big personal digital assistant, which is the style of the Compaq prototype, although it is keyboard compatible.

The tablet concept has met a fair share of skepticism, given an earlier failed attempt by Microsoft to push a tablet computer, and No. 2 PC maker Dell Computer Corp. (NasdaqNMELL - News) has not announced a tablet.

But HP Vice President Ted Clark said the Compaq EVO would be a flagship product when it was announced at Microsoft`s Tablet PC launch.

"We think they will expand the overall ultra portable market, and we hope to see them accelerate purchases in the notebook market, but we are targeting the same customer who would be looking for an ultra or a mini-notebook," he said.

Notebooks have been the best performing category during recent PC doldrums, as business and home users have found they can do almost everything they want with new portable machines.

Low power microchips are extremely efficient, meaning that they produce relatively little heat, a form of wasted energy, and drain batteries much slower than high-power rivals, meaning they are less likely to burn someone holding a notebook on his or her lap or arm and can hold up longer without recharging.

But Intel, the No. 1 maker of chips for personal computers, responded to Transmeta`s entry into the market by improving its own line of low-power chips and so far had kept the Crusoe chips out of U.S. brands of computers.

Ditzel, who declined to comment on financial projections, said the tablet represented the next generation of smaller hardware as well as Microsoft`s next operating system, since the Tablet PC builds on XP.

"This is not a tablet system, it is full Windows XP. In fact it is the next version of XP," he said.

Der neue Öko-PC von Nec mit Transmeta-Prozessor scheint ganz gut zu laufen. Verkauf nur über ausgewählte Händler und die erste Charge ist schon ausverkauft.

Guter Beitrag in:

"If you`re interested in buying the eco now, don`t look in stores. NEC is only offering the machine through a few online retailers, including CDW (www.cdw.com) and PC Connection (www.pcconnection.com). The first shipment in early August is already sold out, so you might have to wait for an eco of your own."

ICH hab meine ersten transmeta

Was meint Ihr, wird Transmeta die Prozessoren für die Tablet-PCs in China herstellen, die von Microsoft und Legend geplant sind? Bisher läuft ein Großteil der Tablet-PCs mit Transmeta-Chips. Offenbar haben die für einen solchen PC die besten Leistungsmerkmale.

Alle Crusoes werden von TSMC in Taiwan produziert. TMSC wird zwar weitere Chipproduktionenen nach China outsourcen, allerdings nur ältere Fertigungstechiken.
Jedensfalls ist gut zu wissen, das die Anfangsprobleme der Vergangenheit angehören, und ein schneller Ramp-up zu grossen Stückzahlen kein Thema mehr ist, sollte die Nachfrage es verlangen.

Übrigens, gut die HP Tablet ADs in deutschen Flughäfen und Bahnhöfen zu sehen...
