That's pretty cool!

I'm looking forward to all the powerful micro devices that will be making their way to market in the next few years.  I wonder if the Via-Eve will ever get off the ground?

Mmmm, Nano-itx handheld emulation box.

By the time you add keyboard, mouse and monitor it's not so small any more, and its useless without them.  For a Windows CE device it's positively large.  Much smaller PDA's and cellphones running WinCE / Windows Mobile-based OS have been available for years (and you dont need to lug around a monitor, keyboard and mouse to use them).  And if it's designed to plug into a wall socket, it's not portable so there's zero reason for it to be small in the first place.

From the docs it's designed to be a thin client.  So, you'll have the bulk of a server to add somewhere there also.
