I can say that I'd never pay 599 for this when the Mac Mini is pretty much the same price and on top of that is much more powerful and feature rich. If they were even closely comparable I'd consider it.
(sort of kidding)
My family just got an Apple TV and I'm very impressed at the fit and finish, but I was disappointed at the lack of features. I would love a more open device where I could install whatever I want. For example I would love to mirror my display, have better integration with Android and web browse directly on the box. Any recommendation for good media center software to install on the mintBox that can do this?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
It is. From the article: "The mintBox is a CompuLab fit-PC3 unit, with a green retro-lit Linux Mint logo, and 10% of each sale goes towards Linux Mint." I think a product like this is a great idea for a Linux distro.
That is a confusing site (the Fit-PC site) because it talks about and AMD based 9WTDP design but all of the indicated re sellers only have Atom based designs.
For $250, I've built an Android and Ubuntu tablet, using the Pandaboard ES as the base with a 10.1" capacitive touchscreen (multi-touch). It functions extremely well and makes me wonder why no serious manufacturers are pursuing this avenue right now .. it seems to me to be a very powerful combination of parts. Ripe opportunities abound for anyone with the skills to bootstrap a hardware startup constructing such thing…
Where did you get the display?
