A 40$ embedded development board with RCA/HDMI out, a 700mhz ARM11, and hardware 1080p h.264 decode.

There's an XBMC port in the works as well.
Ideas?

Yes, but it's entirely reasonable. Different forum section, several pages back. Last post MONTHS ago. Don't worry.

Can't wait for this thing. The XBMC port is gonna be legendary. I'll probably spend all my money on these things.

I have a sudden desire to learn to program exceptionally better than I ever will.

This thing + emulators = godly.

I'm thinking very much in the home automation range for this. Put one of these in a wall-box in every room of a house, hardwired through a network.
Have a central server for games, videos, music, and such, as well as a home intercom setup.

At a $40 price-point, they would be amazing for this purpose. You could have a computer controlled house (and a computer in every room) for likely around $2000 + $50-$150 a room.

Combine this with a wireless controller and a wireless hdmi transmitter, and you can have something truly kickass.

This seems like a great idea. Or I can finally realize my dream of a 1 TB PMP!

Base model is $25, upgraded one with an ethernet port is $35. Not too sure where you got $40 from.

Been following this for ages, ever since it was the size of a USB stick, glad they made it a tad bigger. Have the strange urge to make a £100 cluster out of 4 of them. Would be basically useless but rather cool to have sitting there. Might use it for folding@home.
