The Zombu is a very interesting device - a computer preloaded with a Linux operating system that is 'locked in' - it will update, but you can't mess around with it or break it. It has 4 gigabytes of flash memory - no hard drive. You can store more online. The computer has 20 applications pre-installed. Total cost, including shipping, taxes and duty? $140 (Canadian dollars). Outstanding.
