Why not just use remote computing? leave a desktop on for 24/7 and carry a laptop all around the world. As long as the connection is good, this sounds better.
Think green. This device doesn't add to the power consumption load at your home or office very much. It only draws 5 watts. The added consumption of an attached USB HD could be made even less if you use a 2.5" portable HD that needs no external power. And, no fan noise to endure. So the answer to "why not" just leave a regular PC or laptop running, is that this device is very low power. There are other reasons but other readers more qualified to speak to that.
The phone has 256MB of RAM and a 1GHz processor, which do the job reasonably well, though the Anna interface will likely leave something to be desired for many smartphone users.
