Devon IT is shipping a line of very low-cost thin clients based on 800MHz Via C3 processors and a Linux-based “DeTOS” OS. Priced from $150 to $250, the NTAVO NTA 6020-series clients support RDP, ICA, and X-clients, with Java, terminal emulation, and a local browser optional.

Devon IT says its Linux-based thin clients are the least expensive network computing devices available. The company's previous low-cost leader, the Ntavo NTA 6010A, also cost $150 and was based on a 433MHz Via processor.

Devon IT says its new Ntavo NTA 6020 line provides reliability, security, and performance features, along with support for the latest multimedia and web browsing capabilities. Touted NTA 6020 features include:

• Supports 24-bit color displays up to 1280×1024
  
• Full multimedia support with 4 x USB, 2 x serial, 2 x PS/2, VGA, and parallel ports
