Unfortunately, current desktop conferencing solutions were a bit too bulky and processor intensive to be ported to run on the significantly less powerful hardware available in smartphone handsets, so Phonetopp took a different approach: cloud computing.
Compared to fixed sensor nodes, AUVs are powerful hardware units, both in their communication, processing capability, and in their ability to traverse the networks.
"With a sharp focus on the multimedia experience, very powerful hardware, and fantastic games in the pipeline, the BlackBerry Playbook has all the right ingredients to be a mainstream hit," said Brett Seyler, GM of Union at Unity Technologies.

The hardware is embedded and provides less computing capabilities than the powerful hardware that is usually installed in experimental vehicles.
For implementation in series vehicles, less powerful hardware will be used for size, cost, and robustness reasons.
In the future, more powerful hardware, such as GPU card with more CUDA cores and large graphic memories, are needed to be developed on the mobile devices.
Video gear: A small company in California called Play Inc. showed off a very powerful hardware box that effectively provides a full broadcast television studio in a shipping case for around $6,000.
If you are looking for more powerful hardware, you could also consider tablets.
