I might two of these, if they are even possible to buy without being 
cycled around in a waiting queue for aeons (like some other gadget I 
could mention)

I bought a WDTV Live box, which is a great media player with the alt. 
firmware, but it isn't such a great music library player with some 
shortcomings there and no proper surfing ability. Plus I'm not very 
happy at all that few TV's or media players support _all_ the catchup 
services, which is annoying.

So one of these Pi'es would/could replace the WDTV (which cost almost 3x 
as much) and with a small wireless keyboard/mouse/pad thing also replace 
my main PC for general surfing, emails etc. with a very small energy 
requirement, which is ultra super-fine by me. Means I have more money to 
buy more things that save energy! :)
