heh, i recently toyed with the idea of using a beagleboard to build some kind of voip video phone that one could hook up to a normal tv without knowing much about computers.

Using the ARM Cortex alone, or with the help of the DSP + associated coprocessors?

The central server would basically be a beefed-up NAS (with RAID! I just lost 250 GB of material to a collapsed disc), as the client pcs could take care of basic stuff like Internet access and productivity apps.
If I ever get to Thailand, I'll be sure to document the setup and how it turns out.

Ah, I was just wondering whether it would just work without any effort though

i guess they could have put some kind of splitter or something in there. but then the device is already very cramped and i guess the drm built into hdmi puts some limits on things...

The drm thing is indeed crap and one of the major reasons why my Evil Master Plan (see above) needs pcs: DVI is a lot nicer in that respect. And there's always good old VGA.

VGA out OTOH would have been nice, but I expect drivers for existing USB-to-VGA adapters to come along eventually (not for playing games or watching content, but sufficient for productivity work).
