theinquirer.net — In this space, they somehow manage to fit in an Intel XScale chip running Windows CE or Linux, half a gig of flash, 128MB of RAM, AC’97 sound and a Philips 802.11b wireless interface, as well as some things you wouldn’t find on a PDA, such as a PCI bus, 4 USB host ports and wired networking.

How about putting the computer INSIDE the keyboard...think iMac...except with any LCD you want

I wouldn't mind this kind of thing for a laptop. But if they shrink down normal computers there would be less space for cooling systems, and I am no way in hell going to try and fit my fingers in something the size of a credit card. But this is some awesome technology.

i dont know where y'all got your math earlier for the pricing, but this page has the pricing for other quantities... an order for 1 item is 2.5x the 1k unit price... 57 * 2.5 = $142.5 each... 10 units is 57 * 2.0 = $114 each... <a class="user" href="http://www.compulab.co.il/x270/html/x270-cm-price.htm">http://www.compulab.co.il/x270/html/x270-cm-price.htm</a>

Here are the 'single board' versions, containing the ethernet and usb connector, etc. The link is broken on Compulab's website, but I found it never the less:<a class="user" href="http://www.compulab.co.il/x270/html/x270-sb-datasheet.htm">http://www.compulab.co.il/x270/html/x270-sb-datasheet.htm</a>

that will never be a legitimate computer 512MB of porn is NOT enough

Base Unit $57 (1k Units)128MB DRAM $384MB NOR Flash $6520MHz CPU $15Xtended Graphics $30 (Only on W Model)512MB NAND Flash $44Interface Bridge $20 (PCI Bus etc..)Ethernet $7Audio & Touchscreen $7RTC $3WLAN/Wifi $30 (Only on L Model)Total for Model W is $227 (for 1k units)Total for Model L is $222 (for 1k units)The biggest let down in my opinion is you have to pick either Extended Graphics (W) or WiFi (L), cant have both onboard.So, if you buy only one, its 2.5x, which is $567.50 and $555.00 respectively. Over all it isnt that bad, if you could get 1000 people to buy them, I'd get one, one of these plus a cellular module would be awesome.
