So is every single one of the application supposed to open when you start up the demo? It seems pretty responsive once you get most of those closed. Can't really tell what you'd want something like this for though, besides it just being nifty

I'm wary of any company whose official blog has such atrocious grammar.

This'd normally be a "TL;DR" post, but there's not really all that much L nor much R posted over there...

A small thin client 4x4x1" box with an unspecified embedded browser and some sort of unspecified iPad-like tablet with unspecified features, and some sort of unspecified hosting platform, with unspecified hosted storage, all with prices and availability and ordering information all unspecified.

Interpolating on the very fuzzy price suggestions, somebody thinks they can build (and sell) a tablet (or a small box?) for about US$175, but what is now being shown looks more like an ALIX board in a 4x4x1" metal box, and that metal box doesn't look to be particularly friendly for folks to carry around.
