air or heat to operate will void dropping this into lots of earths areas,
requiring some type of building.

Jack,

Your power consumption questions are over my head. :-) You should use Google+ and help get these answers directly from the Minnowboard people.

It looks like, at this point, Google+ is the main way to communicate with the Minnowboard people:

As for lack of power supply, have you ever used a PandaBoard or one of the BeagleBoards? None of them have power supplies, part of the accessories. Perhaps you've been spoiled by the DreamPlug, which has relatively innovative enclosure from GlobalScale, that includes power supply, and AC or DC support. :-)

Re: getting priced out of the market, this is a dev board market is not consumer market. The minnow as-is wouldn't be a consumer box for the FBX, some OEM would have to make a Minnow-based box, using this dev box as the model.

Intel is good at using Embedded Linux Conference for marketing. Here's their last Minnow talk:
