That's impressive 
Wonder what else you could get away with in the future? After all, the insides of an iPad aren't exactly big!

Wonder what it's like with video playback/whether or not it has a hardware decoder? Would make a great dumb client for Myth or similar.

Best comment:
Remove the SD card capability, change the USB to some proprietary connector, change the HDMI to some propritary connector, cripple the Bluetooth functionality, make the casing have flat surfaces with the corners rounded off, have a locked down propritary OS installed. Slap an embossed Granny Smith on one of the flat surfaces then have a launch event for the "magical" device, bombard the media with slick adverts and
charge 250 bucks.

Been keeping an eye on these, seriously cheap (and small) devices but it'd have been nice if they went with an ARM 7+ as it'd be handy having ubuntu support.
