The EM-X270 Embedded Mobile Device is a handheld computer board which comes with a choice of Linux or Windows CE operating system support and a full set of optional interfaces. Need GPRS, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS or a 2 megapixel camera and touchscreen? You got it. In fact all you need do is find yourself a nice trendy enclosure (i.e. a case to you and me) and bingo, you’ve built yourself one custom made mobile computer smartphone thingy. Prices start from $122.00 without a screen, with 128 MB of RAM and a 512 MB flash disk on-board.

 EM-X270 is a full-featured computer board, designed specifically for handheld / mobile implementations. Its functional contents are similar to the latest generation of Pocket PC’s and smartphones, including all types of wireless, satellite and cellular connectivity found in today’s state-off-the-art mobile devices. Yet, it is designed to serve custom implementations, retaining the flexibility expected from an embedded computer board. Available with an optional display, battery with charger and keypad, the EM-X270 offers a self-contained solution requiring just an enclosure for implementing the final custom product.

  • Thats the price for 1000 units, no lcd, and apparently no power source.

    I don’t see a single unit option, but typically they are a lot more and usually part of a developer’s kit.

  • If you look a little more closely through the manufacturer’s web site you’ll find the price structure. Single unit’s go for 3x the $122 price. However, I am willing to buy a single unit if you pony up for the other 999, and we can both get the discount.

  • yeah it costs 2300$
