A friend of mine hacked his iPhone and got shell prompt on it, and it's quite
usable with the touchscreen keyboard. (I very much want a linux box with
that form factor, battery life, connectivity, at least that much memory...)
And hooking a set top box up to an HDTV gives you better potential resolution
than my laptop currently has, on a biiiiiig screen. They already display
text for program listings and recorded program menus and such, plus you can
add a mouse and keyboard via bluetooth or usb if you like...
