Nec Launches the Lui Branded Personal Solution in Japan! Hi-res Picture – Scoop.
Stunning, Amazing ! Yes, these are the words I will use to describe this new ‘On Demand’ system from NEC, which will be displayed tomorrow at the iEXPO in Japan.
Simply put, NEC will release a full ‘On Demand’ System for personal/home usage with a central server and different clients, which have the shape of a Notebook (a Vaio UX like shape). All clients will not have any OS installed on them, they will remotely access to the server in order to give you access to your Vista OS (Microsoft); from these 2 devices you will be able to also stream any kind of media with a limitation to DRM contents which in some case will not be able to be streamed outside of this network. Outside of the network like at the office or on the go, you will also be able to access any feature of the Lui system, OS, Contents, Video, Music (Except DRM protected ones).
You will also be able to access the Lui Server from your TV or any other media system; like, for example, a Video Game console (In the future). Finally, in order to make this work seamlessly, NEC chose the WiMAX as the connection protocol.
This system will be sold in Japan within 2008. (Normally).
The specs of the Clients are :
Notebook : B5 size PC with a 10.6 LCD (WSXGA) 650g.
PDA Like : 4.1” WVGA screen 250g.
Anyway, here you are: 66 pictures of the LUI System for just for you !

As nice as it looks, it would appear to be crippled from the get go.
Firstly Windows Fista all over the place implying that it is using proprietary device drivers and will be available for Windows only.
Secondly, DRM… I mean really. For this device to be successful in the home, it needs to allow you to play whatever the hell you want to regardless of DRM.
As it stands, its destined to be stillborn, sadly.
Very nice, but no1 needs DRM at all, is pure crap, we don’t want AND don’t need that !
Windows Fisco? No thanks either!
Forgot to ask… no prices?
