These things are quite cool and I've been hanging out to deploy them, except for the browser choice. I'm hoping to see Linux versions with capable browsers some time soon.

Is that your photo? If so, can we use it for wikipedia under GFDL/CC-BY-SA?

I installed them approx two years ago (I am assuming they are still in use, I left a year ago). I had it setup to work with a Unotron washable keyboard and mouse and a LCD monitor mounted on an articulating arm. They were primarily used for surgical scheduling, inventory management, etc while the PACS systems were beefier, purposed built solutions. The OR staff loved it and it seemed to be a perfect solution. I ended up using a standard HP ProCurve with POE and the whole thing worked very well. I liked the units more than the HP & Wyse thin clients that we were using in other areas of the facility (I tried out a few different models before rolling out the Jack PC). I would deffinately reccomend them.

That was one of the first places I thought of when I saw them. How long have you had them installed in the OR ?

Someone I know is thinking about building a packaged solution with them for the doctors.

I've used these before... very cool technology. I set them up in our Operating Rooms at a surgery center I use to work with and had them connect internally to our Terminal Server. Great solution for keeping the areas sterile (no moving parts/fans/etc to blow or collect dust) and POE support made installation a breeze while not requiring additional power bricks in the OR.

I am planning on testing some of their new devices out (the standard models) with a new VDI deployment we are planning. Very excited about the possibilities.
