>>Seriously, for what it is; the Apple TV is great. I wish Apple would give it a web browser just so I could watch TV shows and movies on Hulu.com.
Check - Boxee already does this http://www.boxee.tv/
>>And while we're at it...why not open up Apple TV to play more codecs?
Check - Boxee and XBMC http://xbmc.org/

Agreed - see above

There is a web browser than runs on AppleTV - though it's no Safari
I've been running Boxee and XBMC on my AppleTV for a month - works great.
