Philips DesXcape Detachable Monitor

Why would anyone want to shackle themselves to their computers? Wouldn't it be great if your computer monitor were light enough to carry the information it displayed across the room? Wouldn't it be great to be able to take your information to people, rather than have to wait for them to come to you?

The time of having to sit behind a computer screen to access the information you need is over. The DesXcape from Philips allows you to access the data stored in your computer, or surf the Internet with the convenience of a hands free telephone.

The ubiquitous state of technology today means you don't have to be behind your desk in order to be able to pick up emails, surf the web, or chat to friends. DesXcape is a multifunctional 'smart display' based on Windows technology. It enables you to access PC applications and data via a wireless network from anywhere in your home. It even comes in it's own cradle, so when docked, the DesXcape transforms from a detachable monitor to a LCD computer screen.

The possibility of carrying your monitor around with you for any period of time is also not just wishful thinking, weighing in at only 5.5 lbs, the DesXcape makes it possible to move it around your office or home with the greatest of ease.

So what's it got? Well, it is packed with an Active Matrix 15-inch color LCD touch screen, 802.11b wireless technology and Intel's XScale technology, which has been specifically designed for low power consumption. All in all everything has been done to ensure that the rechargeable batteries deliver up to five hours of continuous operation to your fingertips.

The DesXcape also features a built-in virtual keyboard, touch pad and handwriting recognition, similar in usage to PDA's currently on the market. The DesXcape also comes with a wireless keyboard, ensuring that you really have the maximum freedom of movement to create, research, or play via online media. www.philips.com
