This has got me really interested. If they can even get close to the suggested price point they have a hit on their hands and potentially an Arduino-killer.
Looks like it would be a superb platform for anyone interested in embedded systems or end-user applications. You could tie anything into this, from ethernet interfaces to GSM and GPS mobules. You could even quite easily by this for the curious child in your family (or the inner one!) who's interested in computers and electronics without worrying about the cost.
If you have any ideas please let them know so that they can target it properly and make a success out of it.

To test: Moving the Windows XP prefetch cache onto a flash drive
Need to test this to see if it works. If flash drive is not available at boot time (i.e. USB flash drive) it might possibly cause an error.
Disable the prefetch cache with the following registry modification:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\PrefetchParameters\EnablePrefetcher=0
Reboot to make the change take effect.
Move prefetch directory to the new location and replace it with a hard link to that location. To force a rebuild of the cache:
Now enable the prefetch cache and reboot again:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\PrefetchParameters\EnablePrefetcher=3
Notes:
"rundll32.exe advapi32.dll,ProcessIdleTasks" will rebuild the prefetch cache and do a defrag of the system files listed in Layout.ini (and should recreate that file if it was deleted)
