Looks interesting. What are you going to try to do with it? Should make a
nifty portable audio recorder. Should be able to be used as an ether net
sound card. I don't know how well it would work as a guitar effects box or
synth (hmm no midi in). It is meant to be a note pad. The thing you can't
tell from the write up  is if there is any hardware that would interfere
with low latency audio. My netbook has that problem with the wireless
chip. I can have low latency audio or wireless, but not both.
