For $99 a nice little system with AMD Geode GX500 128Mb memory and 10Gb disk. Upgrade to 256Mb and off we go?
Replace the hard drive with a Flash card, and run off a battery pack?
Add Bluetooth (lower power draw that 802.11) and run IP over it to your desktop.... It does have ethernet, so a crossover cable works too.
Would be nice if I could know if I can pull that GX500 and put in a slightly faster cpu....

Via a USB module. And it only supports USB 1.1.

Nope. It's a BGA package so it's soldered directly to the PCB.

Oh, yeah, now I see that. And at http://www.enicomms.com/decTOP/ you can even see a pic of the Ethernet USB dongle. But USB 1.1 = 10Mb Ethernet (and isn't USB full duplex so you can run your Ethernet full duplex too?). At the price...

PCB = Printed Circuit Board.
What is BGA?
