Got to be worth a punt for something to dabble with. Might wait until the hysteria is over (and the bugs fixed). ::)

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.

I quite fancy one as a car music player. Get it to drive a MID / CID and hook it up to the steering wheel controls, load it up with music... :y

.. and umpteen other things, of course.. If only I had the time. ::)

Also very tempted - I love messing with stuff like this, and there are so many neat projects it could be used for.. home automation, neat digital dashboard in the kit car, car audio, home theatre (it'll run XBMC and render 1080p HD videos which is pretty damned impressive for £25!)
