Saw this on another list:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
> Insignia^(TM) - Infocast 8" Internet Media Display
> *Model:* NS-DP8CH | *SKU:* 9854795
> > The Best Buy Insignia Infocast is an internet appliance that looks like
> > a digital picture frame but acts as a window into internet-based
> > information and multimedia. Cost: US$170 (Caveat: Best Buy has no idea
> > how to sell this thing. I went through two sales people and a manager

> > But, under the covers, it is a hacker-friendly 800MHz ARM-based computer

> Oh, wow! Not only the processor, but the touch screen too, for $170!
