Sir Clive Sinclair is something of a hero to me, and I suspect a lot of other UK computer users in their 30's and older. He more or less single handedly created the UK home computer market. In the interview below Sir Clive discusses many issues: His view of the internet, the future of electric vehicles, flying cars, and the development of the computer. It's a typically eclectic mix of ideas, with ambitious schemes side by side with very perceptive comments on the current state of technology. An edited version of the interview below will appear on iPM this Saturday, below is the source material - largely unedited. http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/ipm/2008/06/sir_clive_sinclair.shtml

How do you connect more than two USB devices? Use a hub to increase the number of ports. Some keyboards have hubs built in which would work well.
Does the device support networking? Is there Wi-Fi? The Model B version of the device includes 10/100 wired Ethernet. There is no Ethernet on the Model A version (which we expect to be taken up mostly by the education market), but Wi-Fi will be available via a standard USB dongle.
