VidaBox PicoPC Brings PC Features to HDTVs

CE Pro have details of a interesting new product from Vidabox. The PicoPC is a tiny little box with no moving parts and Windows XP, so you can browse the web, listen to music and watch pictures all from the 13 ounces device. It has USB and R232 designed to control a connected TV or projector.

It's an interesting alternative to a Media Center extender, (how cool would it be with softled!) more details from CE Pro

PicoPC, which runs on Windows XP, has all the capabilities of a computer: browse the Web, email, listen to music, view photos and more.
"Beyond simple Web browsing on an HDTV, one can also use it as an inexpensive digital signage solution," says VidaBox president Steve Cheung.
"AV integrators using VidaBox's vAutomation can take advantage of the PicoPC's RS-232 port and use it to control a connected TV or projector."

I sincerely don't think that this device could playback any sort of video media.  Though, I could be pleasantly surprised if it did!
