People have been saying for some time that operating systems will eventually just become windows to the "cloud" (essentially browsers) and everyone will just use web applications, but now a company called CherryPal is really doing it. Plus, the CherryPal uses only 2 Watts of power.

They made a mistake with no DVI. There is no simple way to integrate VGA into a home theater environment. Only a few TVs have VGA integrated and it is a mess to route the audio. This box had good potential in a home theater setup.
It wasn't intended to be a home theater set top box it was intended to be a cheap PC without the hassles. However I feel they failed on both accounts. By the time you add a keyboard, mouse, LCD monitor, External HD, External DVDR, Hub, and a few other things, you might as well buy a real computer. But alas this might not be a bad deal if you have a wife that is tired of her old 400 mhz iMac and only surfs the web and reads email, and you just so happen to have a keyboard, mouse and monitor laying around. hehehe OK so it is not for everyone... ;-)
