that remote is pimp-tastic.

but using a zune as a remote would be PMP-tastic (sorry for the lame pun.)

if they did one with a black casing, or clear casing and black PCB, i'd save up my pennies for one. especially since it's 100% h4xable and i'd love if someone can get firefox and gAIM running on it, and a wireless keyboard and mouse can go into the USB port. instant internet on my 63" rear projection, add functionality to make up for the standard def.

This thing looks great, but $160 after rebates seems steep for something that advertises it's lack of functionality. Sounds like a cool product though.

I wouldn't say it's a bad thing to be an early adopter - the unit clearly already has some really good features, with some neat things still to be done (but it's not like any other harware out there can do these things anyway).

Plus, the early adopters would be able to update their firmware and take advantage of the new things as they came out. Sounds win-win to me.

Sucks no be an early adopter unless you're a programmer who fancies a new challenge and can then get a nice device, write some software so your device works better and get some cash in the process to pay for the device and more.

I like this model of we-supply-the-hardware-you-supply-the-software. It means that as time goes on, the product becomes more functional. However, it sucks to be an early adopter here.

Marketing genius. Bait the nerds that would have done it anyway with a few bucks, save tens of thousands by not hiring your own developers.

The benefits of leaving your hardware open, kids. Take note Sony.
