I wonder how much these will cost on the retail market.

At $35, absolutely. I've spent more in filling up my car at the gas station. :)

Tim, it's only £22, that's less than your headset cost. I'd go for it if I saw it in a shop.

no product is flawless, there will always be bugs in every piece of technology.

trueb: I'm curious. Where's the bug in the wheel?

Of course! It's only $35 after all! Would be a nice little gadget to have.

Can you install BackTrack 4 on it? If so then I would want one.

For $35 why not, even if all i can go is customize it and browse the web for 35 dollars that would be great.

The zip it is a small (about the size of a Nintendo DS)linux based laptop used for instant messaging. (Can be hacked changing the OS for something more versatile)

It depends whether or not it actually works. Also, if it costs way under $35 to make, I'd want to know whether or not it's usable, because I am not going to carry around an unusable device that takes up the space of an iPad in my bag.

Yeah, I would. I think it'd be a wonderful device too. Archos has a product line that has a tablet device running Linux. However, if there was to be a cheap, affordable iPad like device that has good touch capabilities, and could run a full desktop Linux distro, I would be sold in an instant.

Yes, I'd buy it, after it had been on the market for a month or so. Anything that cheap has to have taken short cuts or is getting outside money. Bottom Line: If it works, I'll buy it at that price.

Yes i would. It is 35 dollars why not. I don't care if it breaks quickly for that price. i can buy 10 of them and it is still cheaper then an iPad.
