Pegatron has revealed a miniature home theater PC running on Nvidia's Tegra 2.
Engadget today reports seeing a teeny, tiny HTPC from Pegatron and Nvidia. While the details on capabilities or even software are pretty scant, the device is said to pack HDMI, Ethernet, microphone and speaker plugs around back. Of course, it's also got Nvidia's Tegra 2 inside (announced at CES in January), which we know runs Android or Windows CE and is capable of 1080p and Flash video.
No word on price or release but the bamboo finish sure is cute.

Err, they said its bamboo... which is actually pretty 'fashionable' at the moment... 80's wood grain effect looked very different to this. Also if you look at the photo's on engadget's site its clearly real bamboo and not a veneer (which I assume is what you mean by 'wood grain effect'), and looks pretty good because of it too.
The engadget photo's show two usb slots... i dont think flash drive support is likely to be overlooked given the presence of ports.
There is not much out there better than XBMC...
Looks cool, but I'll wait on real specs. Until then it's no better than a block of wood.
Just imagine the possibilities. If you can have a system this small and work well, then the impact for the tablet market will be great!
Bamboo is considered green because its renewable and grows damn near anywhere. Pretty damn fast I might add, at least here in the States. Bamboo shortages in China are do to a life cycle fluxuation of the species of bamboo that the pandas eat. The type of bamboo used in the manufacture of furniture, flooring and the htpc, are not in anyway threating the pandas. Thanks for being a negative nancy.
