I know a lot of these "lets disect the latest piece of gear" threads/articles aren't that great, but this is quite interesting. Not from the photos themselves, but when you compair them to the Toshiba HD-DVD player that was opened a few weeks ago.

While the Toshiba HD-A1 is a P4 with 1gig of ram and runs RedHat, the BD-P1000 is a actually a hardware player. Although it came out later than the HD-A1, to me this seems like a more mature product, it isn't an engineering concept in a retail box.
EDIT: Meant to link to the HD-A1 thread, so here you go: http://forums.hexus.net/showthread.php?t=74456
