Abstract :
We describe the Matchbox PC, a fully functional PC not much larger than a box of matches yet able to run popular operating systems such as Linux and Windows and to perform most tasks commonly run on desktop PCs. Although our motivating application is wearable computing, we expect many other applications will emerge.
