The best use I have so far is for a local TV station have the Pi using a LAMP stack to:
a) a Pubic Service Announcement slideshow it autoboots into chrome and hooks in composite NTSC. Can be remotely managed, etc.
b) It also serves the station's website which previews the slideshow in a frame, or has a page showing all the slides.
Experience: very resilient just cycle power when problems... but learned the SD card is way too sensitive for power cycling - so now has an external HDD for better recovery.
Plan to work on one for data collection/receipt for a local recycler, that one will likely use Python with a touchscreen to collect signatures.
This is a big disruption to the POS/terminal market as it gives a very powerful/flexible platform that can be developed/deployed inexpensively, and parts can be sourced easily when HW problems occur.
