This sounds promising. I'll research more on the Cloud Computing concept. Looks like the CherryPal can support video games and video editing (I hope). The lack of moving parts is impressive. Does this mean no more fans and disk drives? The power consumption of 2 watts delivers the "Green" aspect of the PC. I can't wait to get my hands on this "green" monster... :P
