Intel CEO Brian Krzanich used the stage at his first CES keynote address to announce the company's new smart product lines, and in addition revealed Intel Edison -- a 400MHz computer board that fits into an SD card.

The Edison chip supports Linux and includes a dual-core CPU, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth LE (low energy) and an integrated app store. It will be available in "the middle of 2014" according to Krzanich, and will allow creators of hardware products to enhance the functionality of their existing or new systems by incorporating Edison's processing power.

Edison powers the system and connects it to other Edison-powered devices in the home, such as a "smart milk bottle". If the system detects the baby has woken up for feeding, it will alert the milk bottle and begin warming it ready for use.




It will cost $199 in the US (about £120) and includes three onesies, a Turtle and a device that functions as a charging station.
