Now that -is- cool!  Cheap, fanless, comes with everything you need -
just looking at the back I was going to say there'd be trouble with a
primary + backup drive with only one USB port, but of course there are
two ports in the front.  128 MB of RAM should be better than a lot of
the NAS devices.

Bet they're going to sell a lot of "evaluation" units.  ;-)

The size is pretty amazing - smaller than most external drive
enclosures I've seen!

They don't mention what speed the processor is clocked at.  If the
whole thing is $120 it can't be a ULV Pentium or even a VIA C-series. 
I don't know if the AMD Geode processors are x86.

I wish they used an SD slot instead of CF.  CF is on the decline now,
while SD is becoming very popular and very cheap.  18 months ago I got
a 512 MB SD for $85.  Now I can get a 2 GB for $70 ($50 after rebate!) 
SD slots are also smaller of course.
