This news came out over a year ago, but the [H] just picked up the story, so I looked into it.  The price is reasonable (~$300 USD), the size is amazing, and the concept is just plain brilliant…  now, if only it had an optical audio output.  Also, I’m not clear on how the server connection would work, since this requires a terminal server-based environment.  I’m guessing that kind of software (i.e. Citrix) is quite expensive and I don’t know of any cheap/free ones.

It runs Internet Explorer 6.0 to connect to Web-driven applications, and runs an "up to 500MHz" AMD RISC processor, which the company says is equivalent to a 1.2GHz x86. It can come with up to 64MB of flash memory and 128MB RAM.
