Ok, so we need something that can run embedded linux (or other OS),
with LCD, ethernet, audio. A gumstix can do all that, with a little
support circuitry. It makes for an expensive clock radio, though.
More fun would be a minimal clock radio, and use a PC to make all the
"smart" decisions. Tiny MCU (pic, m16c), tiny ethernet (cp2200), mp3
chip, and LED display. Use PoE and avoid the power cord, too.
