        Thanks to a passive cooling design, the unit's installation depth is just under 2 inches or about 50 mm, according to Kontron. The front panel is sealed to IP65.

        Kontron says the M@C150 currently supports a range of standard protocols such as HTTP, XML and RDP. A Java Runtime Environment (JRE) and kiosk mode browser to display Java applets are in development.

        In addition to Windows CE and Windows XP Embedded, Kontron also provides Linux support for the device. The selected embedded OS is available pre-installed on a CompactFlash card), Kontron says.

        The M@C150 appears to be immediately available, but the company has not disclosed pricing information.
