I went for Manuel's $45K car audio bass-tube with integrated PC.
Polar Bear TV: Hey, I can watch TV, and at 720P. Not bad. Phubby: I can deal aces from it. Fingerist: Can double as an iPhone protective case. Gimme Tunes: Who doesn't need another pair of speakers? Bodycam/DV: That could accidentally get lost in a ladies locker room.
But Manuel's HTPC? Why it won my pick: 1. It won't fit in your audio rack or in fact, anywhere near any audio gear 2. In it's spec it cites that the audio card has a built in 6 watt amp. Like I would have money left over for the Gimme Tunes front channels. 3. I'm out $45,000 dollars.
The phone has 256MB of RAM and a 1GHz processor, which do the job reasonably well, though the Anna interface will likely leave something to be desired for many smartphone users.
