One of the interesting aspects of the design (if it's similar to what we saw a couple of years ago) is that it is all centralised, so they can update the OS remotely adding new features etc. As the OS, UI *and* all applications are in their control they can manage hardware resources etc. Obviously it isn't going to be suited to the people who lurk on this mailing list, but there is a market for something like this I'm sure. Whether Alex is the right one/right pricing model remains to be seen...
