I've been told by some folks that you really don't have to commit to
the Internet service. So, there has been a small 'gold rush' to
get these units. They don't seem to be available in the retail
stores, though. They are only showing a demo unit. But, folks
have been ordering them over the net. Some have added IDE hard
drives to them and replaced the QNX they were running with Linux.
I understand that there is some work going on to get a Linux to
boot out of the FLASH that is apparently on the card.
