What are these things for?

Its wireless and probably acts as a media server allowing to access movies on your computer through a menu with a remote.
 
Isn't that just substituting one box for another? And I dread the thought of what the remote must be like....

It's a media extender not a computer extender. Think of it as a device that transforms your TV into a giant ipod that doesn't fit in your pocket.

It's like Apple TV, except that it only runs on a PC with Vista.
With the growth of downloading movies (Netflix, AppleTV, etc.) we'll see a lot more of these type of boxes on the market.
