Just wanted to say thanks as I looked at these a couple months ago but they were out of stock. Saw your thread and decided to check again. In stock so I ordered one. The first night I just kinda played with it.

The second night I have it polling a close local weatherunderground.com weather station's xml data and using a DHT22 temp/humidty sensor for indoor data that I got with my Arduino stuff. Got it uploading outside and inside temp/humidity to a google docs spreadsheet. It really is an amazing device. Next is to get it to interface to some cheap off the shelf wireless sensors that I originally intended to do with some Arduinos. Wasn't sure how to store data with those so this thing is just amazing.

I hooked it to an HDMI TV with full mouse and keyboard and the GUI desktop isn't a bad websurfer. At 2.5 - 3 watts you really can't beat it and I am no pro at linux and never done python until last night.
