I am currently hunting for a coffee table orbiter.  I am leaning toward the [[Nokia N800]].  This orbiter would be used as a supplement to the on-screen orbiter.  I find it more comfortable to use the orbiter on my laptop than the on-screen orbiter, but would rather have something smaller for the coffee table.

Aside from the usual on-screen orbiter, I use a Windows XP laptop to control LinuxMCE. The laptop is a bit big and clunky to have on the coffee table full-time, so I really ought get a webpad or PDA to act as my coffee-table orbiter full time.

Windows XP Laptop

To set up my Windows XP Laptop to control Windows XP, I simply followed the instructions here.

Nokia N800 Webpad

I use the Nokia N800 as a coffee table orbiter. I use this orbiter used as a supplement to the on-screen orbiter.

To set up the Nokia N800 I followed the instructions here. Note that my N800 is running OS2008.
