I actually think it’s overpriced, at least not as cheap as some people think.

And to think that Alejandro Zuzenber said in SMX Argentina 2007 that all this Google-gossip wasn’t true and that Google didn’t intend on making a Google-phone, etc. Suuuuuuuure

What with the current GBP/US Dollar exchange rate I can pick up this machine for under £100. Not bad all things considered.

Well, at least, one can’t complain about the price. Personally, I will stick with my ‘it can run everything’ Macs, damn the price!

I wish this truly was the inhouse linux that google runs, but it seems to be independent:

gOS is an independent operating system devoted to making Google Applications and other free, web software more widespread and accessible to the world. gOS is not affiliated with Google or their partners.

And what is the Linux GOS? Is it developed by Google? And if not, what makes this computer a Google PC?

Google has a vision of cheap and network based operating systems. Computing is becoming less and less hardware and place oriented.
