VIA WonderMedia brings a PC to every monitor

Some news that I missed from the Computex Trade Show in Taipei last month is Albatron's very smart and innovative idea to pop a VIA WonderMedia powered Android computer in their monitors. The suggestion is that the solution is so cheap that every monitor in the future might end up having a basic PC of this nature included in it.


"If a monitor vendor wants to combat the 30% yearly price drop, why not add a full Android media player to the mix. It won’t be a gaming powerhouse but the features could come in handy now and then. For an extra $25 on top of your next monitor, why wouldn’t you opt for it?" - SemiAccurate

It is in these sorts of applications that the physical size and price of VIA embedded solutions really bring new possibilities to existing markets.
