A network engineer's wet dream
Gizmodo is referring to the Possio PX30 Magic Box as a "babblefish" for networks. The source article for the information is on Linux Devices and details the specs of the Magic Box:
"The PX30 is delivered as a complete system, including a plastic enclosure, pre-configured Linux OS, and IBM Java virtual machine and OSGi Service Platform"
". . . the PX30 . . . can be configured as a router between Ethernet, WLAN, Bluetooth, and USB, supporting configurations that would otherwise require an unusual combination of technologies, protocols, and devices. An available option adds WAN connectivity through support for GPRS, UMTS/TDD, or UMTS/FDD"
What's all that mean? Remember the IBM commercials where they are proposing a universal business adapter? Well, this could seriously be the first universal network adapter.
