Coulda used an old Athlon 64 proc to make it cheaper, faster. Idiots.
i agree about faster...BUT...more heat....and withdraws more power i guess....
"...more heat....and withdraws more power i guess...."
Some recent tests seem to indicate otherwise.

But of course, the lab is the lab, the real world is the real world, and rarely the twain do meet...
Yeah I think the point here is to minimize the operating cost of keeping 20 of these turned on for 16-24 hrs a day at your local Stuff Mart.
Give me a 15" with XP and 160 gb hdd for $600 please.
Gimme gimme gimme!!.. is that all that you people say?
I want, therefore, I should get :)
oooh...i want one !
I'm really liking the sound of the 12" version, would have preffered it if it was 10". If it has a decent cell battery which gives more than 5 hours I would really consider picking one of these up
Uh...I want an 12 inch for the kitchen, also for the toilet. But PLEASE make it cheap and OS an option!!
Well it's imbedded, so...be ready to get out your static-free strap.
We are deploying kiosks at work. Currently we are using $350 touchscreens with old desktops as staff get their machines replaced.
These tablets would be great. We could just mount them without the other bulk, as long as the price is good.
I personally reckon you should stick with the PC + touchscreen approach. Much more reliable. Alot easier to maintain from a hardware aspect too. Just get some low end dell vostro's or Lenovo thinkcentres or similar desktop PC's.
"you won't be able to walk away with one of these tablet-style..."
10inch would be better for sure. I so want one. especially for school and if it can play games it would be awesome (older RTS games of course like Red Alert or good old Warcraft 2)
I want one with Ubuntu NetBook Remix.
Excellent.. OSX touch screens.
I will be buying one of these. Mark my words. Mark them!
I marked them down.
Wow..this exactly (well, all most) what I've wanted. A small slate PC with decent capacity.
....Then I converted the Yen. It's around $2200. Ouch.
Back to hoping for a revamp of the Newton (or a large iPhone with more than 80 gigs).
This is something that LOOKS good for an Ebook reader, the price if true just kills it.
How Hard is it to make a touchscreen, about 8"-10" color widesceen,1g memory and 80G+ HD, with wireless, optional place to add GPS + a couple other areas.
Create a leather case for it with a cushion for the screen and do it for under $500 and I wold be there like a shot
Just add two white knobs, and you have yourself a full-fledged Etch-A-Sketch.
or the prez and VP, depending on how you interpret...
I wish it had magnets so i could stick it to the fridge....
Why can't these just be a screen with a wireless vga connection? No hard drive or memory needed and it would be about $100 or less.
