Intel introduces Edison, a computer housed in an SD card form factor. Quark device uses microprocessor technology that Intel was shown a few months ago. Intel CEO Brian Krzanich said that the computer is designed to be used in smart handheld devices, such as health tracker or everyday products, such as coffee cups, which must be connected to the Internet. Edison has built-in wireless capabilities and supports several operating systems. This is a complete system. This is absolutely a Pentium-class PC form factor SD card, said Krzanich. Edison will be coming in the middle of 2014.
To demonstrate the potential of Edison, Intel demonstrated the concept of "Nursery 2.0”, baby wearing Mimo Onesie equipped with sensors for monitoring things like temperature, Edison has been used to show that the information about, of all things.
