UK GlobalScale release DreamPlug which s the latest entry in the series, building on its Marvell-based SheevaPlug processor.DreamPlug packs some serious power in its tiny case. The Marvell Sheeva ARM-based processor at its heart runs at 1.2GHz and while 512MB of DDR2 memory might not sound very generous.DreamPlug goes all-out to impress, packing integral Bluetooth, 802.11b/g Wi-Fi, a 3Gb/s eSATA port, two USB 2.0 ports, a pair of gigabit Ethernet ports nd even analogue and SP/DIF digital audio ouputs. ARM developers will be pleased to hear that the JTAG-over-USB feature of the SheevaPlug has been replaced with full hardware JTAG and UART connectivity.This device still only draws a minuscule 5W under load a major power saving compared to traditional small-form factor systems.This ultra small computer is going to retail for $150.
