This type of board could be popular, especially once you get Linux
distributions and XBMC working. If the product is popular, custom
cases will appear like it's done for the Raspberry Pi. <br>
To save cost he might consider scrapping the NAND flash and let
people use a microSD card to boot the system. The main drawback with
this is possible performance degradation with SD, but I have not
seen benchmarks about this.<br>
If your friend can make a case that can be plugged directly into the
TV (HDMI) without cable and powered by USB (small USB cable to the
TV USB port) it will be even more successful.<br>
