I've been working on ideas for this media center pc. I've wanted to build one for a few years now... or maybe ever since I got the xbox and put it into the living room. The thing is, I want something cheap and small, something that I won't have to worry about cost with.
The Idea is that you have one of these in every major tv room. You'll be able to navigate with a wiimote or floating trackball style mouse. Its an effort to reduce cash spent on media (Think Reducing cable bills). The application for these devices extends into the realm of function. I want to be able to access all computers on the network; files and desktops. The wattage on this is so small that you'd be able to power it from a battery bank and a fist full of solar panels.
This brings me back to the mobile device. That mystical magical [i]thing[/i] that would have a touch screen or inferred camera for basic functionality, be small enough to fit in a pocket or be an MP3 style device but large enough to comfortably type papers on.
Its still a very grainy field, but that mesh of function and form is what i'm looking for. That mystical magical box that lets you do it all for under 300.
All in time my friends, just you wait.
