That little think is awesome! The problem is that the specs are very minimal, and I can see even Puppy Linux strugling a little (a 200MHz processor and 128 MB of RAM is rough). Also, for anyone outside the UK it's pretty expensive, ($400 for the base model). At that price I can get the EeePC and have an even bigger smile in my face since it's more powerful and I can take it anywhere.
On that note, I've been thinking of building a MiniITX based desktop for myself. Intel's new board is really cheap ($80) and the Celeron processor on it only needs 19W to operate. With a decent amount of RAM it would be a great desktop replacement for less than $200."Today you are freer than ever to do what you want, provided you can pay for it!" --Bad Religion

Wow! Does that boot of a CF? It's tiny! Still got all the necessary ports on though. I think they could work on the design but as it doesn't effect performance I'm not really bothered about that lol.
