Life. Combination of the compnay we were talking to going under and changes in my life and 2 of the other devs. We had a device that was about the size of a classic mac, wasn't very loud and could serve up everything, running on linux of course. Interface was really the only thing left needed. There are still 2 dev samples that the guys are using personally.

The project was actually a platform for experimenting with metadata generation systems. To that end if was fairly effective. We didn't get as far as we would have liked (complete auto-metadate generation for all imported media) but we did a fucking good job getting close.

Was before it's time really, too expensive and geeky for the mainstream but I'll bet a grand that in 10 years we'll all have something like it in our houses.
