According to Elonex, the Linux-based laptop will boast a 3-hour battery life, Wi-Fi, a flash-based hard drive, a "hard-wearing case" and a "wireless music server," and will weigh less than 1 kilogram (2.2 pounds).

Oooh...pink.

detachable keyboard

Inside it has an AMD processor running at 300Mhz, so it is a bit slower than the XO, however the screen resolution is lower so it might have a bit less work to do. There is 1gig of storage and 256mb of ram.
Very low specs, but I would still take this at only $195 over a Zonbu, Koolu, or any mini/nano itx type form factor sreenless device.
