Just in case anyones interested, FXI are taking pre-order sign ups. I assume when they get stock in march. Who ever signed up first, gets first dibs. Also said I was a developer, in case they target them over private users.
Bring on cheap tiny HTPC, so I can get rid of the monstrosity which is in the lounge at the moment. I'll be using it mainly for web browsing, music and Netflix in the lounge.
I started a thread in the mobile section.
But it could really do with discussion in here as well. Anyone getting one of these as HTPC?
