    Looks tailor-made for a home audio/visual system.

    Unfortunately it lacks an optical drive, so its use in that context is limited (but only by money of course, buy an external drive!)

    Yes, why pay more for a small computer that ca have some dedicated function when you can get custom hardware to do it smaller for less with less redundancy.

    I think the real use for these (and low power CPU mini-itxs etc) is for a multi-use function, perhaps as a flexible terminal to your main computer in the closet.

    This would be ideal. It has an LCD display, programmable keypad, and does floating point, so Ogg is possible.

    Now all I need is a job and some $$$ :(

    Sounds like you've got one: incorporate, make, build, and sell. And yes, the next step is profit!
