Interesting they managed to get a hardware supplier that big!

I can really find a spec list yet, but probably gonna be a good product.

Is that basically an HTPC in an (admittly funky) box?

I'm guessing it runs this?

A mate of mine has had a play with it and really rated it.

^ Yup

Shame it (the hardware) looks so ugly.

I actually like the look of the software.

Shame there is no 64-bit version or I'd be getting Carl to download it for me in a flash :)

yes it's there

Isn't this basically what the old XBMC developers are doing these days?

From all accounts it's a top bit of software, just not sure what the hardware will be like.

what a strange bit of design ,i guess it stands out from the crowd

I'd go with XMBC on a Zbox. http://www.zotacusa.com/products/mini-pcs/zbox?p=2

Much more customisable and can play full hd content. Many of these devices like the Boxee or Appletv struggle with the high bitrate 1080p mkv or wmv movies.

I have the ZOTAC ZBOX Intel Celeron SU2300 1.2 GHz Dual-Core

Holy resurrection Batman :)
