This looks awesome! I bought an Amazon Fire TV Stick when they were accepting pre-orders at $19, and while it works well for that price (or even the $39 current retail price), I would much rather it be hacker-friendly. It doesn't even have a web browser! I could see using it for all sorts of additional projects, if it were more flexible...and given how much horsepower they've crammed into it (it's comparable to a decent laptop from a decade, or so, ago, and can even do 1080p video, which even modern laptops can't always do reliably), I could imagine using it for all kinds of cool stuff. Stuff like a project dashboard that users could update from their phone or laptop, a party music playlist determined by partygoers, so many cool things a tiny little device like this could make easier (it's not the only way it can be done, but it's certainly nice having a tiny little dedicated device, and would be better for being open). In short, this looks really cool, and I'm actually really eager to start developing for Firefox OS, even though I currently don't have any Firefox OS devices. Edit: Reading the other HN thread about this device raises a lot of concerns about their dedication to Open Source and Open hardware. It seems to simply be a marketing lie, which is troubling, and makes me far less interested in the device (maybe not interested, at all, since I already have a proprietary HDMI dongle in the form of the Fire Stick).
