Ok, I know this is a fair bit off topic but i didn't think i should make an entire new thread for it. Tell me if i should have.
Suppose the new hardware had bluetooth, would it then be possible (if someone was willing to develop it..) to support multiple xbmc's around the house in the sense that if you were walking around from one tv to a tv in another room with a bluetooth device. the first xbmc turned off and the one in the other room continued what you were watching when it detected your bluetooth device(mobile)
I just dont know whether the bluetooth receivers can detect the strength of the signal. But in my opinion it would be a nice feature which could also be configured with profiles. so that if xbmc detected that "Sam's" fones bluetooth signal strength was above a certain defined level it would switch to "Sam's" xbmc profile.

correct me if im wrong but you forgot support for tv tuners. i know there are other streaming methods at the moment but in my opinion this would be one of the biggest advantages if its developed.
