The iPhone version isn't a real frontend, though. The iPad has some
newfangled Apple A4 cpu in it. I don't know if it's x86 or ARM based
or what but I'm sure that will matter when somebody tries to make a
real frontend for the device. I didn't see mention of the GPU yet.

I guess now's a good time to mention the theory that ARM will outsell
ION within 3 years:

With the Boxee box running ARM, maybe it's time to revisit the
ARM-based MytTV port?
