It's pretty cool to see all these ultra cheap little computers. They're all so different and interesting. It's sort of a boxy, retro looking box. Hopefully they change the color up and maybe a use green or blue plastic. It's great that they went with e17 on the desktop. I use e17 on my desktop at work and a lot of people comment on it. E17 makes sense on the tiny screen. I really do think this is only the start of a trend. Right now Linux has the bare minimum requirements but it's only going to get better. Linux doesn't have a really great calendaring tool. It would be awesome if the Nokia 800 could compete with TI graphing calculators. Mapping tools as well. I bet people will write them though once they get their hands on these little devices.
