Antelope Technologiess will include the ritePen handwriting recognition and pen navigation utility from Pen&Internet with its Modular Computing Core (MCC) product, a modular computer the size of a small handheld that is slated to ship on November 7.

The Modular Computing Core, invented by IBM's Watson Research Labs and licensed to Antelope, is the size of a 3 x 5 inch index card, and weighs about nine ounces. It is powered by a Transmeta processor, runs Windows XP, and can hook into a handheld, docking station or other mobile computing shell so, in the words of Antelope, users can change their computer to suit their needs. It does not require data transferring, downloading, rebooting or syncing. The device is targeted at enterprise and industrial businesses.

ritePen allows users to navigate the desktop and write on the full screen in electronic ink. Handwriting is automatically converted into text and entered into target applications. In addition, ritePen enables Pen&Internet's riteForm advanced forms recognition solution, which adds context awareness to handwritten forms.

The Modular Computing Core Evaluation Kit costs $3,970.00. It includes:
