| Someday, all these capabilities will be built into every HDTV unit, but the

| thin client box, perhaps based on a low-power Linux thin client running on 
| something like a BeagleBoard with an Android-based session manager UI with 
| some basic local applications for cached data use or direct content streaming 
| (a la Roku) and costing less than $100 to manufacture.
