Great concept. I really like the idea of owning cheap computing devices. That way, if I break it I won't feel bad. Nothing feels worse than accidentally spilling water all over your expensive laptop. It would fit me just perfectly.

"Bookmark this page, and then set a reminder to check in soon." this is how product announcements work these days?

Would've been nice to have a bit of actual information.

I know a tv can send back commands from e.g. the remote control over HDMI, it really is bidirectional communication, but I wouldn't know whether it's good enough for something like touchscreen.

They should at least collect emails, but, I guess, they expect a new wave of PR when it actually launches.

The linux version of the device is rumored to be priced at $90.
