Intel Offers $1 Million To Develop 'Sexy' PC

Intel is launching a $1 million PC design contest with the aim of encouraging manufacturers to think 'sexy, stylish and small'.

The winner will be the smallest (easy to measure) and most stylish (a little subjective we think) home PC powered by Intel's Viiv technology.

The $1 million bounty will be split between two major prize winners, one who receive some wedge to help with manufacturing costs and then marketing, and the other who just receives help with mass-producing the thing.

Systems submitted for the challenge will be rated early next year by a distinguished panel of judges, including IDEO Founder and Chairman David Kelley, PC Magazine Chief Content Officer Michael Miller, Intel President and CEO Paul Otellini, and GQ magazine Associate Editor Kevin Sintumuang.

The winner is expected to be announced at the Intel Developer Forum scheduled for March 20-22, 2007 in San Francisco.
