Apple TV running full version of OS X

Apples newest offering - the Apple TV, costs a mere $299 US Dollars with a better graphic card than the Mac Mini and is actually a Intel based PC. Some talented coders have now managed to run the current OS X version on the hardware. There are also clear instructions, if you want to do so yourself.

Hey guys.

I've been wondering if anyone has one of these and has modded it at all. There's a fix to re-enable USB here: 0xfeedbeef.com/appletv/

Things I would love to see working on this machine:

Videoconferencing! (iChat, Skype, etc.)
DVD playback! (Almost there, need to get USB Mass Storage working)
Emulators! (Pretty much there, we have game controller function confirmed)

What other uses can you think of?

It's important to note that it's INTENDED for iTunes only, but actually works with everything now that the AwkwardTV project has gotten Perian working on it.

I knew the hack would come along quickly. I'm seriously debating one of these now.
