24p? DTS-HD MA and TrueHD? Guess it's too early to tell, but they'd be on my needs list. I've got vague memory they are on the spec sheet for the Tegra, but i'm fara too lazy to look it up.

If it runs as well as predicted I'll be grabbing one for use as a low wattage HTPC replacement with a couple external HD's on a usb-hub.

I think ill wait for the Tegra 4 version. Tegra 3 is ok but its starting to show its limits on my Nexus 7 and One X. Nice to wait for them to iron out any other bugs and prove the platform as a whole.

XviD and DivX are both encoders, not codecs. The codec is MPEG4 part 2, also known as MPEG 4 ASP('Advanced Simple Profile'), and often incorrectly called 'MP4' (which is a container, not a codec). In contrast, h.264 is MPEG4 part 10, AKA MPEG 4 AVC ('Advanced Video Coding').

Does anybody know what this will be like for web browsing - can it handle Flash??

[Biscuit]

Unlikley it will handle flash as Adobe have said they will no longer support Android. You might be able to sideload an old version into it but i suspect it wont be natively supported

More info next week hopefully
