This reminded me of an airport where I saw lcd panel displays embedded into the mirrors above a sink and had pretty intuitive software for face analysis and targeted advertising

Why would anyone want this? Portability? Well no, I still need a keyboard, mouse and screen. Speed? Probably not going to be faster than the computer you're replacing... I fail to see the point...

Tibby is still bitter about Ice Cream Sandwich showing up and kicking iOS/WinMo's ass.

Tibby has a very specific use of :colbert: whose meaning a lot of people seem to miss.

My post applies regardless of emotes.

Yeah, I want an android to finish Deus Ex Nihilum for me.

Uh, I mean, kill my enemies and stuff.

Uh, I mean, clean the bodies [/color] or something.

No details on storage? Looks like it's just the SoC from a Galaxy SII. Not really that great of a deal for 200$...

If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

It's not meant to replace a computer. It can do a lot of things.

A. You can use it as a thin client, connecting to a server host.
B. You can use it as a media player for a TV, with a bluetooth remote or keyboard/mouse combo.
C. You can use it in various embedded applications where arduino just isn't powerful enough.

Hell, this can even be used for the average home PC for families. Yes, it's slower, but it's also a lot cheaper, tiny, silent, and uses hardly any power. For people who are just browsing the web and watching videos, it's a great concept.
