How do you think it compares to the Cotton Candy with respect to a)
handling the computational jobs you run on your clusters, and b)
high-def video playback? (No mention of the GPU, but maybe that is
implied by the Exynos SoC.)

I can see the wow factor in the small packaging, but I don't really see
the practical value.

The same can be said for the 2" square Cubox. Cool, but I'd gladly trade
off a bit roomier enclosure for something that is easier to open up.

As far as set-top-box applications, which many of these devices seem to
be aiming for, there is a lot of room behind a big screen TV to hide a
device, of that's what you want to do. Consider the much larger Pivos
XIOS (Cortex A9, GPU: Mali-400, RAM: 512 MB) at 4" x 4" x .7". Still
easily hidden.
