Small is beautiful…and tough

I love the new generation of ultra mobile devices designed for hostile environments (like my kitchen as evidenced by warped water-damaged dog-eared cookbooks). At Lunch@Piero’s TabletKiosk is showing the eo TufTab v7112XT, a VIA-based ultra mobile device that can take the drops, splashes and abuse not only of my culinary environment, but harsh environments like dusty warehouses, or places with extreme temps.

TabletKiosk V7110K with wedge readerRecently when I was in London, servers at restaurants never took my credit card away to someback-office spot — they always processed it right there where I could see it. TabletKiosk also plans to show the eo v7110e in that very capacity. The ultra mobile device uses the 1.2 GHz VIA C7-M ULV processor and runs a new signature capture solution by Agilysis. When combined with a mag stripe reader, the eo v110e becomes a very nifty mobile device for scanning credit cards, recording tips and capturing guest signatures tableside. Hope to see these become standard in US restaurants!

Ho Ho Ho: Santa promises ultra mobile devices at Lunch@Piero’s press event during CES

Looks like Santa has traded in his sleigh for a 747. The fat little man in the red suit (Tim, why are you looking at me that way?) will visit two events where yummy ultra mobile devices based on VIA power efficient x86 processors can be found at CES: at Lunch@Piero’s, the innovator and press showcase Monday and Tuesday, January 7 and 8 (press must register in advance) and on January 8 at 3pm at the Cheeseburger Restaurant in Vegas at the WIN (What’s New in Technology) meet-up.
