Wouldn't this make a really good OS4 Amiga?

The CherryPal folks stripped out 80 per cent of the usual PC innards, leaving a case, a chip, a couple USB ports and a monitor port. The system runs on a Power architecture-based 400MHz Freescale mobileGT MPC5121e chip, ships with 4GB of Flash storage and has 256MB of memory.

So why would I want it over my iPhone.. which has similar specifications... but 8gig flash (soon to be 16 :-D) a modern, well supported web browser and is fully portable?

I honestly can't see what the hell CherryPal are trying to do here?

I bet I can write letters faster with a desktop computer connected to a proper monitor using a proper keyboard than you using a touch-screen :-)

Hmmm... good point... But I write a hell of a lot of Emails and even this post on my iPhone... I'm pretty quick on it now...

I wouldn't like to use bittorrent/emule with an iPhone :-P

I wouldn't want to use bittorrent/emule on that Cherry thingie either... it's not really suited to serious desktop usage... which is why I compared it to my iPhone and not my Mini-ITX (for example)
