I recently picked up a $45 Android PC (4.1). It is designed to be hooked up to a TV set. After connecting a mouse (and a key board) to the USB port, it is basically an Android powered PC on your TV. All the TV needs is a spare HDMI port. Video and sound come out the TV.

Wifi is built in. Most of the Android aps you need are free. Picture programs, You Tube, video players, etc, all built in. You definitely can run Netflix and others through this with free apps. Music player built in. The built in file manager can connect with network drives on your network, allowing you to stream video, move file, etc. from a shared drive.

Add a $20 Webcam with microphone, you can do Skype. To do this, you need a USB hub since the unit only has one USB port. But with the USB hub, you can connect flash drives or SD cards from a Camera with a USB adapter. You can even connect the USB to a PC and transfer files.

E-mail is built in and the program has auto setup for most of the bigger e-mail services. Maybe you'll want "Office to go" to be able to fully read/write word/excel/power-point.

Micro Android 4.1 PC - $45
Keyboard & Mouse - $15
Wireless Keyboard and Mouse ($30)
USB Hub - $10
16GB SDHC Card - $15
Webcam $20

$105 - Wired KB & Mouse
$120 - Wireless KB & Mouse

Anyone else played with something like this? It would seem an integrated, pre-setup box would be great for novice computer people.
