Looks neat, but if something went wrong it would prolly for sure be something you would have to send back to get replaced.

looks pretty good but i can't see any prices anyewhere.
Dark Roasted Ubuntu
Looks like a standard x86 PC in its technical details.
Just from looking at the pictures, it also seems to be too thick to type comfortably. The keyboard looks terrible and laptop-ish. Like _h_ pointed out, the touchpad seems badly placed as well. So I would end up adding an external keyboard and mouse anyway before I could use it seriously. So really, what's the point of getting one of these? I might be pleasantly surprised, but I don't think I'd put up the money to find out!
Also, what were they thinking when they tilted the optical drive? I'll bet CDs don't last long in that thing!

Skinny Soy Caramel Ubuntu
The AmigaOs specified can only be UAE NOT Os4 which is PPC only
I really don't think there is any point of these devices anymore.
I suppose you could attach it to a humongous 50" 1080p telly but then you can do that with tiny mediacentres anyway and have the keyboard on your lap.
Wonder what the price will be ?

May the Ubuntu Be With You!
To be honest the fact that it claims to run OS X is kind of suspicious. However, it's more suspicious that they've practically copied Apple's advertising word for word in some places.
