Atom/ION would have made it much more capable for doing what we expected, which is delivering 1080p without congestion. Going Tegra2, while maybe financially smart, is still a fail in my book.

With the design of the remote im thinking they never ment for this to be a video player. They wanted it to be a web2.0 machine. And we all just assumed it was going to be a nice video player.

If that was the design goal, then they met their goals. This thing is highly capable of delivering content streamed from the web. It just doesn't have a place in a dedicated HT. But I might just pick up that remote since they will be selling it separately. Having a keyboard on the back is genius.
