The Nivo is a new 'ultra thin' client device under development by British, not-for-profit organization Ndiyo. Its principle intended market is developing nations and the project is based upon a non-profit model. The aim of the project is to create hardware and software that can lower both financial and technical skill cost of computer service provision.

Apple does have a relatively affordable thin client. It's $299, a bit steep for a thin client, but it has NVIDIA graphics, HDMI with HD audio, 40GB hard disk, and 802.11n, which are high-end features for a thin client.
The problem is that they don't want you to use it as a thin client. They call it AppleTV. It's for playing iTunes content on your TV. But it could have been a thin client that extends your Mac onto any display in your home.
