Default FXI squeezes a dualcore chipset into a USB stick, lets any monitor into android


FXI squeezes a dual-core chipset into a USB stick, lets you turn any monitor into an Android device
http://www.fxitech.com/products/


The Cotton Candy is a USB stick sized compute device allows users a single, secure point of access to all personal cloud services and apps through their favorite operating system, while delivering a consistent experience on any screen. The device will serve as a companion to smartphones, tablets, and notebook PC and Macs, as well add smart capabilities to existing displays, TVs, set top boxes and other media that supports USB mass storage.


Thanks to this creation of the Norwegians from FXI technologies, you can turn any available screen into an Android device. Your TV and computer monitor can grow brains of their own with this stick.

And, rest assured, the non-touchscreen is not really an issue. Cotton Candy comes with Bluetooth connectivity so you can connect your keyboard and mouse to it. There’s even a microSD card slot on that thing.

Alternatively, you can just plug the stick into your laptop and have it running Android in a matter of seconds, using the built-in keyboard and mouse. We don’t know if it will have too many practical applications, but it’s hard to beat the Cotton Candy at coolness.




Make Your Mac Even More Friendly
Enjoy a Mac, but use an Android SmartPhone? Plug Cotton Candy into the USB port, and instantly access the Android or Ubuntu Operating System and navigate your media with the keyboard. Use the Cotton Candy as a USB stick and drag your local pictures and movies over to it for later enjoyment on the TV screen. The Cotton Candy is your private computer within your, or anybodys , computer. Experience the freedom of mixing.


Make Any Monitor Smart
Dust off that display and turn it into a PC. Just connect an HDMI monitor to Cotton Candy. Plug a USB power cord into an electrical source then navigate your media with a Bluetooth or WiFi mouse and keyboard. Access Cloud apps and documents, play games, surf the web, and view photos and HD video. For work or play.


Make Any TV Smart
New or old, any TV can become smart. Connect Cotton Candy with an HDMI TV, plug in a USB power cord to an electrical source, then manage your on-screen media with a SmartPhone, Bluetooth/WiFi mouse and keyboard, or a Remote Control. Access Cloud apps and documents, play games, surf the web, view photos and HD video on the big screen with friends, colleagues and family. Your personal media can be shared and enjoyed on whatever screen is convenient.


Make Your Laptop Multi-OS Capable
Blend the best of two OS on a single laptop. Plug Cotton Candy into the USB port of a Windows laptop and instantly access the Android or Ubuntu Operating System. Use the notebook’s keypad to navigate your favorite apps. Retrieve and use Cloud apps and documents, play games, surf the web, view photos and HD videos on the screen of the laptop. Mix and match the benefits of Windows PCs and smart mobile devices with one simple companion device.


Extend your SmartPhone
New or old, any TV, projector or screen can display your SmartPhone’s media. Connect Cotton Candy to an HDMI connected screen, plug in a USB power cord then access and enjoy on-screen HD media right from your phone via WiFi. Access Cloud apps and documents, play games, surf the web, enjoy photos and HD video on the big screen with friends, colleagues and family. Your personal media can be shared wherever you go.
