This USB stick doubles as an Android 2.3 Gingerbread desktop and it’s packed with all the right stuff to get the job done. The developers of this innovative gadget are the Norwegian based FXI technologies. Connected through either a USB port for desktops and laptops or an HDMI connectable display, paired with Bluetooth and WiFi connectivity; so connect your mouse and keyboard and you’ve got yourself a perfect setup…

The device has been dubbed Cotton Candy for its lightweight form factor weighing only 21 grams. As you can see it has two input ends, one being a USB connector for input into any computer be it laptop or desktop, and the other side is an HDMI connector for any display that will take it (monitors included). Packed into this tiny USB is a 1.2 Ghz dual core processor (same as the one in the Samsung Galaxy S II), a micro-sd slot, and a gpu allowing for watching 1080p content and even can process 3D gaming. The ARM-based hardware can also run Ubuntu Linux and future versions are promised to be able to run an ARM version of Windows 8. What else is on the horizon for Cotton Candy? Future versions of the device will have a USB 3 connector and faster processors.
