Sure you can, they should have stuck an AMD in there. What do you hope to accomplish with an... Atom.

I'd like more details on how it interacts with a ARM device (smart phone) and if you can use your smart phone through that inFocus computer to drive output from the phone to the screen and if it's possible to use horsepower from the inFocus computer for use with your activities.

Sounds exciting

It seems the integrated GPU solution from intel supports H264... so I wonder how well this would work with Steam game-stream? Or PLEX player/client? Could make a nice portable entertainment gadget on par with e.g. Roku etc.?

Almost. They should have released a smartphone with this hardware. I know they are producing ARM based smartphones recently.

Excel for Scientists and Engineers book, 2nd edition made in 1995, could be a lot of fun!

THE VOYO V2, intel stick etc etc existed long before this... at similar price

this does have better processor though

The unfortunate thing about that is that Intel can basically give huge volume discounts, and the manufacturers would get subsidies from Intel as well (I'm not sure if intel still does that, the article below is quite old), this would allow them to pretty heavily undercut AMD's Beema and Mullins. So as much as i would love to, and prefer to see Beema or Mullins in there, it isn't going to happen at that price, and because they probably wouldnt ship in volume, we may not see that at any price. Hell, id love to see even one decent thin and light running an FX 8800P, but the OEM's seem to not care since theyre still selling tons of i3, i5, and i7 U's with their shit graphics. I guess im just hoping for too much.
