How cheap is "cheap"? The site gives no price info and says ordering  
info is "Coming Soon".

It looks like it has some potential but nobody can say for sure  
without having one to play with. I'd doubt that it would be capable  
of HD or openGL menus unless it has some serious video acceleration,  
which is unlikely. It might be able to run an SD F/E, or perhaps at  
least NFS mount mpeg files and play them.
