"DeviceVM's SplashTop is sharing a booth this week at the CES with ASUS. At their booth we were allowed to check out a SplashTop demo running on an ASUS notebook! This notebook has yet to be introduced by ASUS, but it's intended for high-end gaming and comes with SplashTop Linux as a complementary operating system. This version of SplashTop is slightly updated and has new features too."

No, SplashTop should focus on connectivity and multimedia consumption. It doesn't need any productivity software at all. It should be able to read and write to the internal hard disk (the current version doesn't). A multi-protocol file transfer client would be nice, as would a CD/DVD burning utility.
It would be especially neat to have a VMM that allows the user to boot one or more operating systems from SplashTop and rapidly toggle between them (like virtual terminals). I'm surprised that Asus hasn't already demonstrated an intention to bring an advanced utility for clocking, fan control, and thermal monitoring to SplashTop.
