I dont see any real world use of this other than Geeks buying it. From a private usage standpoint, it'd be too complicated for the average Joe to administer a Linux box that doesn't have a monitor and it'd be useless in a commercial setting.

Would the average consumer spend $79 for a Linux-based server to augment their home network? I'd say the answer is "no way".

Analysis Opinion - Marvell announced today a new type of computer. It's about the size of an AC to DC converting wall outlet plug, but is really a full SoC with a 1200 MHz CPU, built-in 512 MB Flash, 512 MB DRAM, Gigabit Ethernet and USB 2.0 support. It runs small versions of Linux, consumes about 5 watts max while allowing remote users (presumably those authorized by the owner) to access data stored on the device from remote locations including local intranets or over the Internet. The $99 device opens up a wide array of extremely low-power, low-volume, always on applications.

it only has 512M of flash memory, what good is that in today's world.
