    I'll definitely have one of those too, as soon as they are available.

    Wouldn't that still be a bit weak for ubuntu? Even xubuntu recommends 512 mb of ram.
    I put puppy linux on a 800 mhz p3 with 128 megs of ram. It worked but not that great.

    This is really cool and a cheap price however I don't see it going anywhere when phones have more power.

    You're forgetting that it only costs $25. A (smart)phone is much, much more expensive....

    This is just fantastic. I am sure almost any person that is into computers will buy one, I know I will. This is meant to be a cheap PC so you probably wont find high performance parts on it. He even said in the video he wants to keep it cheap so schools could give them to students, or kids with parents that have a low income can purchase this without breaking the bank.

    Now if they could only create a $25 monitor to use it with. An HDMI enabled monitor will cost you at least $200. With no mouse it wouldn't be much use for me either, I use my mouse more than the keyboard and shun keyboard shortcuts except maybe ctrl alt del.

    TV's have HDMI's and shortcuts are quicker than pointing devices.
