Wireless draws a lot of power, and they're trying to keep the power usage super low. They definitely should have some kind of mobile access thing though, if people are hoping to have their stuff everywhere/anywhere.

Changes: 1. Different video outputs 2. Different audio outputs (I want an optical connection) 3. Get rid of those USB ports 4. Get rid of the network port (keep it wireless) 5. Let me control it from my iPhone with an application I want to get one anyway though, it's like the Mac Mini, only simpler from what I can see so far. Get Netflix to sign on and this would be insanely killer for me... That’s pretty awesome, but I think if they stripped it down even a bit more, and changed it a little, I’d buy it with no question.
