I'm still doing research so the only apps I need are on my main desktop. If I could access web apps, surf, email, and remote desktop to my machine at home, I don't see why I would want a dual core laptop. This seems perfect. For battery life does it do the OLPC trick of having a separate chip relieve the CPU of display refresh? That would be quite sweet. I like the concept. My hope has been for such a machine.

Though his goal of 10"-12" screen is nice - an is actuality is probably cheaper for his team to source. However, a prototype in a lab and a final product rarely look alike - so I'm willing to wait it out. And of course he hasn't indicated who's working on it... It could indeed end up very sleek.
