Hands-on with Emtrace Photoskins and WidgetStation

by Thomas Ricker posted Jan 5th 2008 at 10:18PM

Emtrace makes a return to CES this year with their Photoskins, new WiFi WidgetStation version 2, and more importantly... launch details. Unfortunately, the WidgetStation 2, which appears to be the more useful of the two information appliances with that big, segmented display, is just an engineering prototype meant to gauge market reaction. Hey Emtrace, we like it. The tiny Photoskin (or is that plural?) runs Linux on an ARM920T processor and will hit the US "late summer" for about $150 with complete access to their WidgetOne website and all the Javascript-based widgets you can consume.

I'd be happy about this, but the original WidgetStation never shipped. I've been wanting one, but they just don't exist on the market. Well, not the US market anyway.
