Game developer creates a USB stick PC for $25 [HDMI 1080p, 700mhz]

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.

Gee I forgot, those poor kids will certainly have high def TV's with 3D no doubt too right? Shortcuts are only quicker if you don't use the mouse. If you have to let go of the mouse with your right hand to hold down three keys (ctrl alt del), what's so short about that?

That is true that not everyone has a HDTV or HD monitor, but it still is a good start to cheap computing. In the picture you can clearly see you can use a mouse as well, but the thing is you would need to buy a usb hub making it cost more. I think he should have thought to put at least 2 usb ports for a mouse and keyboard.

Only need one USB to connect to a hub and people can just get an hdmi to vga cable for the other one

Your point was that a HDMI connection only allow it to be connected to a hi end monitor, this is not true. In the UK ( even in the poorest households ), you will likely find at least flat screen with hdmi ( not 3d tho I'm afraid ) - Welfare state FTW.
I also pointed out that shortcuts are always quicker...if you can't c+a+d ( or c+p, another two handed shortcut ) quicker by hand than by mouse, you have problems.
