The memory issue will make running the frontend right on the device 
pretty tough. I suppose you could use the nanoX I have heard mentioned 
to slim it down somewhat but I doubt it would be enough.

I am going to order one to messy around with. I figure if I can add the 
zlib yvuy encoding that is uses to a standard VNC server for Linux, I 
should be able to run mythfrontend under it. Once I can display the GUI, 
then I can hopefully change Myth to send commands to the streaming 
portion of the MediaMVP to control the playback.

This is of course based on *a lot* of conjecture :)
