This is simultaneously true and largely irrelevant.  Despite its shortcomings, which are numerous and sometimes extremely annoying, it is probably my favorite computer of all that I've ever owned.  Of course, it can't be the only computer I own, but it is by far my favorite to use.  It could be a glorified turnip for all I care so long as it's awesome.  And it is awesome.

I got looking at it and I think maybe this is only compatible with the latest generation of iDevices.  I'm not sure, though.  I did see a Youtube video of someone supposedly running it on an iPhone 3G.

I take it back.  I jailbroke my mother in-law's 3rd gen iPod Touch today and XBMC runs perfectly fine on it.  I'm streaming a movie to it right now.  The interface is a bit frustrating right now, though.  It's just the standard Confluence skin and sometimes the buttons are too small to hit consistently with your fingers.  Setting up sources was particularly difficult, but at least that's a one-time thing.  Not to mention that the XBMC skin has already issued a challenge to the skinners to put together a gesture-based skin for these new touch-screen devices.  Even as-is, though, it's totally usable.  It's just not an ideal user interface.

Midwifery?

Heh . . . seems to me that midwifes charge for both senses of the word.   :)
