The point of these devices is that the cost ends up being negative 
compared to running stuff on a full-featured computer powered up all the 
time.  Plus, they integrate the media server, so upnp/DLNA clients like 
the PS3/Xbox360 and an increasing number of network-connected TV's can 
view the same pictures with their built in protocol without yet another 
setup.
