That price seems impossible...but even double that price seems impossible. Yet it would be vastly more powerful than my old Macintosh I bought in 1984 for over $3000....
Update 2/7/09: It turns out the price seems impossible because the device is actually just a "digital storage hub/net access point for educational media."
