So why not take Samsung approach with their new smart tvs and make a box that could be integrated to the tv (installed) by a pushing into a socket in the tv (to upgrade their smart hub in hardware so tv is upgraded to a newer model)
Advantage:
could be upgraded later to a better version in hardware

My TV has a plug on the back, its called HDMI. It also has a VESA fitting. I can fit my xbmc device as you suggest. i can choose my own hardware.

MediaPi Samsung would have to partner up with Apple for an ios tv and I highly doubt that would happen what with Apple and Samsung being at each others throats constantly.

LG Google TVs can run xbmc apparently.

Xbmc is far smarter than than any smart TV I have seen. But android TV may get us there, then of course xbmc is just an apk away.
