I had a chance to have a quick look at one at a school I visited
recently - they were considering them for all the Primary kids :-)

My interest is that it is cheap, small and light.  Assuming that I can
install OpenVPN on it, then it's a great device to take away on holidays
if I need to SSH/OpenVPN in to any basic support and I haven't lost my
$4000 laptop if someone steals it.

OOo seemed to start reasonably quickly (ie same as my *real* laptop) and
the built-in wifi means surfing the web is possible for looking up maps,
timetables etc.

I want one!

Can't believe that they have sold out down there will have a scout
around Brissie...
