Great point. Also, the Pi can be powered off USB batteries, so you could run it basically anywhere for a non-trivial amount of time, really easily. The Pi's lack of reliance on wall power is one of it's neatest features, I think.

Yep, I was running a beaglebone black doing basic network services from the USB port on my DSL router! Very handy.
