#3I want two or three. No kidding. Any possibility to upgrade RAM? When will this be avaliable?
At 20€ they're going to sell like crazy.

#4"In some ways, the project resembles the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) scheme,"
"The volunteer team has to produce a better working prototype, has to show that it really can be manufactured for around £15,"
So yeah, it really IS like it... Especially in that their stated price won't end up being what they sell for in the end.
At the $25 stated on their homepage, I'd buy a few of them for playing with... Well, if it had an ethernet port, anyhow. A computer without an ethernet port isn't much of a computer these days.

Fortunately, URB-to-Ethernet adapters aren't very expensive.

But then where would you plug your keyboard?

USB hub, perhaps? They appear to be using one with many devices connected in the photograph on the official website [1].

#8Does anyone know if this could be made to run iOS?

If you need a USB hub to use one effectively, then the true price just went up by a third or so.
Why not make the thing twice as thick, providing room to add an ethernet port and a second USB port? Then much more of the associated costs will be incorporated into the unit.

#10With the built in 1080p h.264 high profile decode[1] for £15 this could be the world's cheapest media centre. It might not be enough to run boxee, but should this go to market at that price, a lightweight media centre distro would definitely make this something else.
I think I'd probably buy two or three for hacking on.
