Excluding phones obviously.
This is pretty cool. It'd be even better if it ran a more advanced OS.
Looks so cool.

I'm curious. What OS is there that is more advanced than Linux?
I.e. the OS that powers all the top ten of the world's super-computers: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TOP500#Rankings

Sorry, need to rephrase that.
I ment a more advanced GUI. I wonder how well it would work on GNOME.....

Probably quite horribly, as I believe the Smartphone versions of Linux use something other than X11 as the GUI Server. --Then again, I think that there may be an ARM port of Debian using either FVWM or one of the 'Boxes as a WM.
