Typical uses for the device are expected to include kiosks, electronic manufacturing, factory automation, and transportation systems, the company said. In addition, since the NuPPC-0701T is less than three inches deep, it can be installed directly within a wall to control a home entertainment system.

The NuPPC-0701T is based on a 1 GHz Intel Celeron M processor teamed with either 256 or 512 MB of 533 MHz DDR2 SDRAM. Its 7-inch display offers a relatively small resolution, up to 800 x 480 pixels. Screen life is rated at "over ten million touches at one point."

Specifications include:

• Processor -- Intel Celeron M clocked at 1.0 GHz
  
• Memory -- 256 MB or 512 MB, 533 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
  
• Storage -- CompactFlash socket, Type I or type II, 512 MB card included
  
• Video -- built-in 7-inch display, 800 x 480 pixels, 300 nits brightness
  
• Networking -- 10/100BaseT Ethernet
  
• Other I/O:
  • 3 x USB 2.0
    
  • mic in, speaker out
• Power:
  • 16-30 VDC, at 30 watts (max.)
    
  • Running time on backup battery not specified
• Operating temperature -- 0 to 55 deg. C
  

The NuPPC-0701T is listed as coming with a 512 MB CompactFlash card; installation of Windows XP Embedded on the unit presumably requires purchase of a larger memory card. The company says "customization options include CPU type, operating system, and extended IO functions."

The unit costs $1,495 and appears to be available now.
