I am talking about the Cotton Candy, a prototype of a mini PC that has very interesting features like Quad Core processor, WiFi connectivity and Bluethoot, 1GB of RAM, micro SD card support up to 64GB Full HD video, and USB port and HDMI.
It allows users a single, secure point of access to all personal cloud services and apps through their favorite operating system, while delivering a consistent experience on any screen. This mini PC is not yet on sale, but is expected to be launched in the first quarter of 2012.
The Cotton Candy is a USB stick sized compute device. The device will serve as a companion to smartphones, tablets, and notebook PC and Macs, as well add smart capabilities to existing displays, TVs, set top boxes and other media that supports USB mass storage.

It sounds like an interesting device, and the amount of power it has for the size is astonishing. With the size of the device, how will it be powered?

actually it does not require external power source. It works on the same principle as USB is working
