Given that reports state it's running iOS4, the same OS as the iPhone
and iPad, chances are it's already locked down that hard.

It's probably an iPad inside, with the LVDS for the LCD display replaced 
with a HDMI processor chip. Apple have stated it does 720p only, no 
1080, so it's not going to be all that powerful. You'd probably be 
better off sticking with an Ion-based Mini.
