Intel's 4-inch "Next Unit of Computing" to cost $400

I've seen a lot of signage that runs on Flash. This is probably because that's what designers use, and also because new adverts are delivered over slow connections (GPRS?)

At any rate, the $400 cost would be minuscule compared to the cost of the screen itself, housing and installation costs. Why try and save a little money and risk having to retrofit or replace the displays in a few years when socially integrated, augmented reality, realtime 3D ads are in vogue.

Correct. All the digital signage I've worked on in the past couple years was Flash/AIR based.

Slightly off topic.. There was one day here in Tokyo where the feed for the JR signs had somehow broken, and the "train approaching" LED banners here and there were showing a lovely mess of mangled XML.

I'm now seeing some HTML5 stuff. Certainly having an Ivy Bridge i3 available for $400 will accelerate that trend.
