"Hall two at the Computex 2006 trade show in Taipei was filled
with motherboards. One type of motherboard in particular dominated the
displays: Mini-ITX. The Mini-ITX form factor design was developed by VIA
in March 2001. By April 2002, VIA had launched its own motherboard
division in order to manufacture and sell the world's first Mini-ITX
mainboards, dubbed EPIA. They were targeted at enabling developers to
design a new breed of ultra-compact entertainment devices. The Mini-ITX
form factor has, however, been adopted as a mainstream choice for
industrial applications and embedded computing. In fact it's fair to say
that the Mini-ITX form factor has enabled significant developments in
embedded computing."
