Ok so I was thinking, open source portable devices are really cool, but what about a well designed open source home console.
Before people start saying "any idiot can make their own pc or htpc" the truth is it lacks standardization as well as the console-ish feel.
This is sort of what I'm talking about: http://www.evosmartconsole.com/htversion/home.html except that they're kind of going in a weird direction.
I'm thinking something like a hacked xbox but with a lot more power (Potentially with the power to even emulate ps2), very compact and sleek, able to play any video format, a decent possibly onboard graphics card, bluetooth or wireless controllers, a dvd or blu-ray, but most importantly a standard and good user interface that doesn't require crazy installations or a keyboard and mouse.
Any thoughts?
