Either way, I'm sure some enterprising young hacker will find a way to install apps onto it.
If it syncs with iTunes, then at the very least RSS is available to it (via sync). I'm going to assume QuickTime is implemented at some level, too. Plus, if Safari is full-featured, then that opens Javascript<->QuickTime communication. Is Flash there? Not sure. If not, it may be Apple's way to stem the tide. I guess the ultimate question will be how bare-bones the OSX install is, and how much control you can have.
