I think the Register has it right - this is designed for use in a media center. Include PVR software, a remote control, digital A/V outputs, and a $100 upgrade to a DVD burner and you have yourself a smokin' media PC for a modest premium over a conventional PVR/DVD burner combo.
Are these things for sale anywhere? The manufacturer's web site didn't have any prices, so I froogled for a vendor. I didn't find any live links to people selling them. However, I did find an article that suspects that Hop On Phones is marketing a non-existant product. They also give the disposable cell phone market a poor prognosis.
