I would like to get some of those nifty gadget that look terrific: $250 cloud PC, 300$ Micro projectors. G1, 100$ CE-laptop, etc... They will never (or in one year at 3x price) reach my city (Montreal, 3 million residents) :(]]>Sep 23rd 2008 8:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/23/cherrypals-249-cloud-pc-delayed-for-another-fortnight-vaporwa/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/23/cherrypals-249-cloud-pc-delayed-for-another-fortnight-vaporwa/Sep 23rd 2008 8:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/23/cherrypals-249-cloud-pc-delayed-for-another-fortnight-vaporwa/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/23/cherrypals-249-cloud-pc-delayed-for-another-fortnight-vaporwa/Sep 23rd 2008 9:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/23/cherrypals-249-cloud-pc-delayed-for-another-fortnight-vaporwa/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/23/cherrypals-249-cloud-pc-delayed-for-another-fortnight-vaporwa/Sep 23rd 2008 11:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/23/cherrypals-249-cloud-pc-delayed-for-another-fortnight-vaporwa/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/23/cherrypals-249-cloud-pc-delayed-for-another-fortnight-vaporwa/ $249 Cherry module

You could get a small laptop or a basic PC for that price but the point of cloud computing is that it all resides on the internet ("in the cloud"). Where ever you go, you only need to connect to the internet to find all of your stuff. They to all the system maintenance and backups.

There are no disk drives to crash. At 2 watts it won't heat your room or increase your electricity bill. There is very little in there to go wrong. If you ever upgrade, it's as simple as unplugging the old and plugging in the new one. No data to transfer or worry about.

If you are one of those people who use a computer for e-mail and a little shopping it may be a great solution. If you're a power user or a heavy gamer, don't bother reading the specs.

This would have been perfect for a net station in public places....
