Maybe that is all they needed and there was no vendor to force them to use higher hardware specs just to support the latest version. The niche markets this is for probably has access to no office suite, so OOo 2.4 would be a major benefit. I like the thought that the first office suite a group of people will use will be OOo. Maybe OOo on ARM will be a great turning point for office suite file formats. That said, depending on the price, I would definitely want at least one as a TV media station. I have been waiting too long for the low power Linux ARM devices to start pouring in. With ssh forwarding and sshfs, it really does not matter what software the device comes with. You can use it as a proxy to run any software you want (e.g. latest OO.org) and access any files you have. Anyway, I find this to be very exciting and am glad it was posted here (since all my usual sources of this type of information appear to not have caught on yet). Thanks! Cheers, Ivan
