So what could you guys do with something this cheap and small? Would

I know their site is overloaded, very static page displayed. I'm wondering if anyone knows what the development environment is. Why should I choose this over arduino? Because it plugs into my tv? Has much more memory? What age kid do they think is going to be able to figure out how to use something this complex? For 35 bucks I'm curious enough to maybe bite after the dust settles a bit.
