Come on, surely it wouldn't be that much more expensive to put even 4GB storage in the thing? ]]>Oct 28th 2009 3:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/litl-easel-web-computer-is-cute-as-a-baby-blue-button/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/litl-easel-web-computer-is-cute-as-a-baby-blue-button/Oct 28th 2009 4:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/litl-easel-web-computer-is-cute-as-a-baby-blue-button/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/litl-easel-web-computer-is-cute-as-a-baby-blue-button/Oct 28th 2009 3:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/litl-easel-web-computer-is-cute-as-a-baby-blue-button/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/litl-easel-web-computer-is-cute-as-a-baby-blue-button/

The 2GB of storage tells me they're seriously focused on some sort of Cloud computing model. In that case, the storage will only be used for booting up and connecting to the OS home-base in the Cloud. As a parent (I've got 4 kids), this thing could be a no-brainer. While the hardware looks really cheap--almost disposable--that's probably intentional, meaning this thing might be really cheap. With no word on the pricing model yet, I'm imagining a really low hardware cost (like so ridiculously cheap, how could you NOT buy it), with Litl making its real revenues from some sort of subscription model--with the subscription being for access to your data/files and a suite of customized web applications (possibly targeting kids, including maybe some streaming movie or educational video content--cartoons?) all stored on their servers.

If it's cheap, what make this so attractive to parents is that you can afford to buy and give this thing to your kids with no worries of them breaking it or losing their data. If they break the thing, no big deal--it's so cheap you just get them another one. In our home, we've got both Macs and PCs (one running Ubuntu), it's clear that my kids don't really care what OS they're using. That's because all they really want is a web browser they can use to access all of their stuff online (Facebook, email, blogs, homework websites)--most of which is ALREADY online. So I'm really intrigued, and hoping this might actually be the very thing I've been waiting for.

Another "killer" feature for parents (as the ones most likely paying for a subscription--again, assuming there even is one!) would be a palette of parental controls they could use to manage their kids' access (with recommendations based on age maturity)...

Okay, now you have my wish list!]]>Oct 29th 2009 11:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/litl-easel-web-computer-is-cute-as-a-baby-blue-button/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/litl-easel-web-computer-is-cute-as-a-baby-blue-button/wat oo''?
