Ironically, those of us in web video who've been preaching the "all-in-one-box" mantra for years were right after all... except for the part where your box doesn't play video all that well.
Yet.
The other stumbling block here is that, even though we can continue to boil our technological lives down to one or two boxes, everyone's still going to have their own VERSIONS of those boxes. I somehow doubt we'll ever reach full standardization, nor should we. But I do wonder if the utopian (and minimalist) hope for a "one box" solution is a pipe dream for precisely these capitalist reasons...

Hey Justin,
I completely blame the device and not the content. I know the device wasn't designed around media so it lacks the ability. It will be nice when device manufactures start releasing a line of devices, i.e. iPhone, that take content into consideration.
