Those are terrible specs for a box with no display. They need to either cut the price in half or pump up the specs to something like a dual-core 1.2ghz.

Right now you could buy a tablet more powerful than that, with all the same inputs, AND a 7 inch 1024 by 600 capacitive touch screen, and still pay under $80.

No need for UL approval. It has a low voltage input.

For $99 you could buy one of the cheap stick-PC type units, a USB hub, and a hollowed out book of any shape or color and have a much faster version of this rather odd product... I wish them all the luck as the idea is great, a book that can sit on a shelf near a TV and blend in with its surroundings while its actually a HTPC is brilliant.

But then again with the Android mini-stick i bought for $50, it hides completely behind the TV quite nicely so I personally would probably never buy one of these things.
