I want one of these:

German electronics company Kleinhenz is shipping a network-enabled Linux system barely larger than a standard RJ-45 Ethernet jack. "Picotux" is based on the DigiConnect ME module from NetSilicon, along with a 2.4.27 uClinux port that was probably developed by German embedded system specialist FS Forth Systeme...

 
WoW! At 99 euros can you add a bunch together, say fill up a shoebox with them, and have a nano super-computer?

Can anyone read through that and tell us how many of those it would take to equal a 3ghz Intel system?
 
The NetSilicon NS7520 SoC features a 32-bit ARM7TDMI core supporting clock rates of 36, 46, or 55MHz. Kleinhenz lists 55MHz as the clockspeed for Picotux.

Umm... 3Ghz divided by 55 = about 55 of these ;)

Yes, I have nothing better to do.

 
There's a real review on the OQO, by someone not trying to sell ads:

I don't know how you would type on that in the first place... Looks like the right idea though and could be improved in V2. Ditching the numpad and having the keyboard stretch out more would be a good start.
