Marvell's Plug Computer: A tiny, discrete, fully functional 5 watt Linux server

Cool. Now if it included a powerline adapter (or wifi); no need for a
separate network port. Then it would be a truly plug-in-anywhere-and-go
thing.
Right now I can see it as my home home sound system server-driver; right
from the wall plug into my stereo's USB port.
