I saw that this went on sale at Amazon and thought it looked pretty interesting. Not sure if it's been posted previously, but didn't see it anywhere.

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003HK5RM6

Atom N270, 1GB DDR2, 16gb SSD, 800X480 OLED touch screen, 802.11 b/g/n & bluetooth, 4 hr battery life. Plus comes with an "Ultra-Wideband" wireless HDMI kit for wireless connection to an external screen. I wonder if you can easily throw win7 or xp on it, or if they will have a version of it with those available?

Basically a eee netbook/nettop in a keyboard, with wireless HDMI and other connections. Would be more interesting if it could play back HD, which I'm guessing it cannot.
 
I wanted one of those a while back. It's been delayed a few times. It's a nice idea. It has XP on it and Windows 7 would probably be a distinct possibility without Aero (but HD playback with the Broadcom HD). It's really meant as a couch-to-TV PC. It's like taking an all-in-one, but taking the monitor out of the equation, adding a TV, and building it into the keyboard.

So to correct you,
1) It has XP. You don't need to toss it on there.
2) It has Broadcom Crystal HD Decoding so it can play back HD Content.
 
The price is a little steep for an Atom. At $600 I'd probably get a Mac Mini or Dell Zino instead, or a mini-ITX in a Silverstone sg06 case.

On a budget I'd be thinking something like a Revo with Ion at $200.

Nice. Sorry, I watched the video and thought it was some kind of LINUX variant that ASUS put on it. Need to learn to read descriptions better. Also didn't realize it had the HD decoder. Pretty cool, but agreed that it's a little steep.
