Alright, I just wanted to throw in my two cents since the shopper on my site is a BIG walmart type shopper. For everyone here's talk of "yeah, but what can it do?" what you have to realize is that they aren't selling to you. They are selling to an audience who has ZERO knowledge about computers, the internet and probably anything that has come out in the past 3 years. Think your grandparents. They are for people who want to try out this whole new fangled web/computer thing. They don't want fast, they don't want 3 million KB cause they haven't gotten their shots yet :) They want something that they can try out for not too much. Get use to the idea.

And here is where WalMart will make their money. In a few months/years, when they get the hang of it, who will they go to when they want more... their friendly neighborhood WalMart, where they bought the first one. They will upgrade. They will buy bigger, faster, stronger. And WalMart has just (once again) bullwacked its way into another market.
