The early Toshiba HD-DVD players appeared to be a stripped down PC (according to some of the tech blogs that opened the cases). Pentium-M processor, 1G memory, USB ports, network port(?).
If the price of the player drops far enough ($50?), then they may be worth that if they can be converted into more general purpose PCs (myth-TV front-end?). Anyone heard of anyone hacking one of these to do this?
