Has anyone had a play with one of these yet...

Just ordered one though I think there will be a wait.

Interested to hear what folks think...

From what I've heard they haven't actually shipped yet, I think there's a slight delay with the CE approval, more on that here :http://www.reghardware.com/2012/03/29/r ... ay_glitch/

I'm looking to get one myself once the initial rush has died down, I can think of all sorts of uses for this, even if it's just as a low profile media PC to stick on the back of the telly!

We had a discussion on these things a while back. They don't appeal to me much but I know there are a few here who'll be joining you

Thanks for the update Skippy. I was looking to get one but knowing that I missed the initial batch I haven't checked their website recently.

It's a pity about the delays because the initial impetus is going to be lost. The concept of a computer cheap enough for kids to play with without fear of "breaking something" might just work. Or are kids only interested in Facebook and Twitter? My wife wondered whether providing a toolkit for phone apps might make them interested.
