Re: egBox - a prototype HTML5 based set top box

Hi John, Bin, all

Hope you don't mind my bulk-replying to some of your questions.

We have been running our egBox prototypes on commodity hardware, mostly net-top PCs such as the Lenovo Q180.

Because we think of it as a prototyping platform rather than mass consumer hardware, we haven't concerned ourselves too much yet on how it would run on the kind of memory/CPU limited hardware typical of TV set-top boxes.

We don't have much else that what I have already shared, but hope/plan to release the software and more information as we embark on another phase of the project in a few months.
