"Let's talk about it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。ｉｎｆｏ”

On the surface, it was a cordial and friendly meeting, but in fact, a few people were conspiring to think about how to dig into the corner of socialism.

"If you configure it, the 320×240 resolution 256-color five-inch screen will be counted. Senxia decided to use this screen to do it.

The resolution of 320×240, at first glance, seems very rubbish, but please note that in this era, game consoles, including PS, 320×240 resolution are able to become one of the main resolutions they support, and there are even many games that use 320×240 resolution.

In this respect, the 320×240 resolution is actually not bad.

"By the way, what is the approximate size of your textbook here?"

Textbooks are of a prescribed size.

Although Senxia knows the approximate size of a book, but it is so long, Senxia really can't remember what the specific size is.

"You're asking the right person, I didn't pay attention to this at first, but because we're going to build this reader, I checked it all. Wang Qiwen said, "There are two main sizes in primary and secondary schools, one is 20.5 cm × 15 cm, and the other is 30 cm × 21 cm. There are many different situations in the size of high school textbooks, but generally speaking, most of them are standard 16 carats, that is, 30 cm × 21 cm. ”

To be precise, it is not 30 centimeters, but 29.7 centimeters, but Wang Qiwen is remembering an approximate number.

And the data given by Wang Qiwen here is not completely correct, but in general, it can still be used.

"I'll convert, a large PASS, a small size, I'll calculate, five inches is about 12.7 centimeters, and the diagonal size of a small-format textbook is about 25 centimeters......"

If it's a five-inch 4:3 screen, the size of a small textbook, that's perfectly fine. But Senxia thinks, will this make the screen look too small?

Senxia calculated in his mind that the surface area of the five-inch screen is about 77.4 square centimeters, while the area of the textbook is 307.5 square meters, in other words, the screen-to-body ratio is about 25%.

Well, it's small, indeed......

"If it's similar to the size of a textbook, it's a little small......"

Mori Xia muttered.

"You don't need to refer to the size of the textbook, I think it needs to refer to the size of the pocket, five inches, it's a little bigger, 4.5 inches, how about it?" asked Qianjia, who was sitting next to Senxia.

In addition to Sen Xia, Qianjia, Lihua and Xue Nai were all crowded on Sen Xia's side at this time.

Although Qianjia still wanted to remain silent as before, after hearing Senxia's unreliable thoughts, she finally couldn't help it.

"I think what Miss Qianyu said makes sense!" Wang Qiwen was very excited at this time, but because everyone else was still here at the venue, Wang Qiwen desperately restrained, obviously very interested in this topic, but he still had to pretend to be serious at this time.

"That's ......"

Senxia was also thinking about it at this time.

The LCD screen in this year is not the same as in the future, and there is no way to make it into a narrow bezel, so the bezel of the screen must be very large.

According to Senxia's idea, it is actually good to make a 16:9 screen and put it in your pocket, but the 4:3 screen is slightly wider than the 16:9, so when you put it in your purse, there will be a subtle pain in the egg.

"16:9 is actually pretty good...... Mori Xia muttered.

"But that size is already very strange, right, I noticed this when I was doing the demo program of Dream of Red Mansions," Qianjia continued to complain about Sen Xiazhong, "This size makes a game give people a weird feeling." ”

No, no, no, this size is the mainstream mouth of the future!

Sen Xia Chao wanted to complain, but he suddenly found that his side of the complaint didn't seem to be able to stand up, after all, this size has really not been used well in the personal field now......

"4.5-inch, clamshell keyboard, how about this?"

Wang Qiwen proposed this at this time.

"Why a flip keyboard?" asked Senxia curiously.

"It's only when you have a keyboard that you're tall!" Wang Qiwen said of course.

"Huh?"

"If you have a keyboard, it does look a lot taller. Xue Nai next to him also gave his opinion at this time.

"The clamshell is pretty good, we love it in Neon Gold. Qianjia also thinks the design of this clamshell is very good.

"Uh-"

Senxia almost forgot, on the mud bombardment side, everyone has a soft spot for flip covers, until the rise of smart phones, they have always loved flip phones, and flip game consoles, even occupy the mainstream, what 3DS, NDS, and even the upcoming GBA, are all flip covers.

Senxia focused his eyes on Lihua, and he hoped that Lihua would give some different answers.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with that, and in this case, it feels like a little pocket laptop, which is actually pretty good, right?" Lihua also thinks this idea is very good.

"Forget it, it would be nice to have a better design...... "Mori Xia muttered.

The design of the appearance is a must.

Even if it's the design of sports school uniforms, it's actually exquisite, and Sen Xia naturally can't just mess around.

"The appearance finally said, let's take a look at the configuration here!" Wang Qiwen's thoughts were different from Senxia's side.

"Configuration, isn't it good that we just come here casually?" Sen Xia glanced down at the equipment table here.

"This is inexperienced, we can't do it like PDA, and it definitely can't do it like a notebook, there's no reference, it's very troublesome. Wang Qiwen shook his head and sighed.

"What?" Sen Xia had just finished asking, and he patted himself on the head.

I know the general trend of the future from my side, and because of this, there is no problem with what I want to do here, because Senxia has references here. But Wang Qiwen is different, he is equivalent to crossing the river by feeling the stones at this time, and the thing accidentally sank, and there was no place to cry at all.

"You can refer to smartphones. Senxia said again.

"Smart ...... Cell phone?"

Wang Qiwen didn't react at once, because what smartphone is really a somewhat unfamiliar word for him.

"It's IBM Simon!" Qianjia suddenly spoke.

"Ah, almost, but it's not the old one. ”

Smartphones, in this year, there are already large, that is, IBM developed Simon in 1993, after that, there are also manufacturers have launched smart phones one after another, but the smart phones of this era are not good-looking, so the people who know are actually a minority.

IBM's Simon is considered by many to be the world's first smartphone, which is why this machine is so famous.

-- By the way, the price of this machine is as high as 1,099 US dollars (about 6,800 yuan for soft girls, and if it is based on the black market exchange rate, it is 8,000 or more).

"In short, IBM-Simon is a mobile phone with PDA function, but unlike PDA, the size of the smartphone is actually more in line with our requirements. ”

The so-called "first smartphone" was a tall smartphone at the time, offering utilities such as a calendar, a world clock and appointment scheduling, as well as the ability to send and receive e-mails and faxes, and even more so, the smartphone could even run third-party applications stored on a memory card or in its 1MB of internal space.

Simon's screen is a black and white backlit touchscreen with a resolution of 293x160.

Then, after selling 50,000 units, Simon announced in February 1995 that it would be discontinued – and then, not again.

Of course, if history does not change, this year, that is, in 1999, there will be a very peculiar smartphone developed, that is, the Motorola A6188.

"Recently, Motorola is also going to launch a smart phone, maybe we can refer to it. ”

"Do you use the Dragon Ball processor?" Wang Qiwen immediately asked.

The Dragon Ball processor mentioned here does not refer to the Dragon Ball of cartoons and comics, but the CPU "DragonBall" developed by Motorola, and the processor that Motorola used for A6188 is DragonBallEZ.

“...... Actually, I think that my brother just said that the version of the big screen seems to be interesting...... "Listening to these people on Senxia's side muttering here for a long time, Xue Nai came to Qianjia's side at this time.

"Ah, in that case, it's better to make it into a notebook directly, the cost is unbelievable, right? Can a large eastern country afford this cost?" Although Qianjia is unreliable many times, her explanation to Xue Nai at this time is quite reliable.

The problem of "cost" is the most important problem they face, and in the face of the problem of cost, other problems are actually not a problem -- because if the cost problem is not solved, the leaders of a certain eastern power will most likely think that Senxia will think that Senxia is teasing them.

Of course, the cost should be high, and if it is not high, it will not make the other side retreat, but when it is high, the cost cannot be too high, in that case, it will become purely "teasing you", which must also be bad.

"So in terms of CPU, it's almost the same with Motorola. "In addition, we are not high in the performance of the machine, MC68000 I think it is enough, if it is not enough, we are equipped with a graphics chip for auxiliary display, in fact, it is enough." ”

Theoretically speaking, all Senxia needs to call is the picture and the text itself.

The call picture is displayed on the screen, as long as the underlying support of the system is supported, in fact, it does not consume too many resources, but in this world, there are few OSs that are made specifically for displaying images.

If you want to say that someone wants to make Nintendo's 8-bit console FC display a true color picture, that's nonsense. However, if you write a base layer and instructions specifically for this chip, and display pictures when the chip performance is sufficient, you can still do it - but the question is, who will customize such a useless chip and OS for you?

It's time for Senxia to open his brains here, and of course Senxia is happily opening his brains here. As for what is the result of brainstorming...... Well, Senxia has chosen to give up treatment at this time.
