Space Cube is the smallest computer in the world, it measures two square inches on each side, and has been made by the Shimafuji Corporation. It has been designed for use in space. Inside the cute little cube is a processor with a top clock speed of 300Mhz and 16GB of on-board flash system. It runs on a Linux OS from a 1GB CompactFlash card. There’s a number of different ports, but most interestingly is the socket called the Space Wire port that links up to the proprietary systems NASA, RSA and JAXA (space agencies of the US, Europe and Japan) use. It is reportedly going to cost around £1,500 pounds and it is only available in Japan.SpaceCube
