Very interesting. A NAS has been on my want list for a while. If I can get a viable media player in a 4 bay NAS I might have to change my mind from going Synology to QNAP.
Then again, I want to see if it supports Netflix and Hulu streaming first.
Don't count on there being functionality added to the HDMI port. That port is just part of the motherboard they ordered for the system and not something they had designed as an extra. Holding faith in it being functional is similar to holding out for that port on the bottom of your original Nintendo to do something.
