$300? No way! I can see how that would run $2000-$3000 easily.
Consider:
- Full business notebook computer functionality
- Network capabilities for mobile users (Wifi, ethernet, dialup)
- HUGE processing and volatile storage (since everything runs from a "ram drive")
- No changing data stored to a ROM (i.e. the basic parts of the OS...DLL's, drivers, etc.)
- Security functionality (smartcard, encryption, VPN tunneling technologies)
I think it's a pretty decent idea. But imagine the overhead for supporting users! And managing the systems for upgrades, software changes, etc. I bet the infrastructure and support costs far outweigh the $2500 price point.
Cool...but expensive.
