Chip maker Agere has launched what it claims is the first mobile content server, a gadget designed to be as capable of grabbing, storing and serving documents and media files as a PC is. But be a darn sight more portable.
Called BluOnyx, the device contains not only storage - Flash or hard disk - but also an SD IO card slot, USB port, Bluetooth 2.0 and Wi-Fi for connectivity. There's a 600MHz processor running the VXWorks embedded operating system to give the unit the ability to crunch numbers and run the media streaming code, and a battery to keep it running when you're out and about.
