Why can't an AppleTV work? It seems like a pretty ideal device to me, let us know why it doesn't.
Does "no matter the area" mean globally? Or just the USA or other country/region? Global gets a lot harder.
Do you need to be able to pick it up in person, or does mail order work? Lots of little things like IR controlled desktop fans, or tiny stereos and things can be gotten to anywhere in the US fast with Amazon.
