Of course it was an impulse buy and I don't actually have a use for it yet, but I figure something will occur... :D (MythTV/DVB MPEG2 player for upstairs over WiFi, or playstation emulator or something?) :)
I was planning to use one as a desktop PC. Given that all I ever seem to do on my desktop machine is play video, read email and surf web, there's very little I couldn't do on a Cortex-A8 at less than one watt, that I can do on this Mac at a couple of hundred...
...but then I'd need another for the 'draw a mandelbrot zoomy about' picture frame... and another for the DVB stuff... and.. and.. ;D
It is a fabulous idea though -- I don't remember the name of the product but a year or so ago there was a portable PPC linux-based pocket-sized computer, the idea being you would carry around your personal desktop workstation in your pocket (instead of just a USB stick) and plug in anywhere you liked, with your own familiar desktop. The size of the BB (post-it size) and the fact it'll easily power from USB & be a USB networky gadget out of the box is ideal.
Maybe I should make machined travel cases for it! ;)
Cheers,
Matt
