SAN FRANCISCO--Tucked away at one corner of the Intel Developer Forum Technology Showcase area is Korea-based company Ocosmos. Never heard of the brand? You're not alone, but the company's product, scheduled to be showcased at tomorrow's IDF keynote, is generating quite a buzz . We're talking about the OCS 1--a handheld gaming device based on the Oak Trail mobile CPU which runs the full Windows 7 operating system .
According to the company's representative, the OCS 1 is primarily designed as a portable gaming and entertainment device, but there are plans to embed a 3G or even an LTE radio in the future. Its selling point is that it can run both online and offline games such as StarCraft II and World of Warcraft along with 3D development tools. In a nutshell, you're looking at a full-fledge PC OS on a mobile device.
The OCS 1 comes with a 4.8-inch, 1,024 x 600-pixel capacitive touchscreen, 32GB SSD, a microSD card slot; Wi-Fi connectivity, 3.5mm audio jack, speaker, microphone and a pair of cameras (3 megapixels for the main module; 1.3 megapixels for the Web cam). No word on the battery performance, although the company is targeting 10 hours of gaming on a fully charged battery. The OCS 1 is expected to appear in the US next year followed by other markets in Europe and Asia Pacific, though pricing details have yet to be announced.
