Yippee! I can run all zero applications for Tron.

This is probably VERY useful for embedded Tron developers though.... they can compile native instead of cross-compile from another box.

would be more useful if it had an internal HDD, and could boot linux or windows.

But you have to admit it is impressive from a hardware standpoint, how they managed to squeeze all of that into that small of a form factor.

I wouldn't mind having one.

They could make all of thoes 5% smaller just by removing the damb serial port. Its such a legacy device.

(I do know the uses of the serial I/O but who need to make chaser christmas lights anyway)

this is cool as hell....I cant wait until they come out with some fold up monitor and keyboard so that you can put your computer in your pocket!!! This computer seems pretty useless....but its still pretty neat.
