Hardware, Embedded Systems "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."

I don't really understand what use are multimedia apps in SplashTop... They would be at their best in a real OS installation. But internet access is good for checking help sites et al, a disk utility would be an absolutely brilliant addition (f.ex. GParted, but something more advanced would be nice too), and sure, CD/DVD burning utility so you could download a CD image from the internet and burn it, then reboot with that. And well, it would be nice if SplashTop included an utility for controlling all the hardware aspect of the motherboard, just as you said, clocking, fan control, memory timings and so on. I just came to think that they seem to try to make SplashTop and OS replacement which is totally wrong direction IMHO. I think it should be more like a greatly advanced BIOS, disk and hardware diagnostics utility..Then it would be like a system builders' wet dream. I know, I have been building systems almost my whole life :/
