Pretty cool idea to use the N810 as a remote control. It’s using Maemo Orbiter and he is already working on a version for the N900. I wonder if it will work with the N800 since that’s what I have.

Of course when you put Linux and Windows together to fit it out, Linux will win. These videos make Linux MCE look pretty sweet. It shows what is possible with a Linux solution for your HTPC.
