i finally received mine today! 512MB revB
i thought these things would be really cool, but was getting skeptical about their lifespan (cheap android phones being better and whatnot)
well, first impressions i am blown away. after you get the 2GB xbian image downloaded onto your sd card, youre done. there is no install. pop the card into the pie and it just boots and works. it is absolutely the easiest os install i have ever done, across any operating system, period. no doubt about it. an old person could do it.
then, you first notice how it can find your windows network without a hitch and streaming music is instant. the sound is amazing, its top notch. it gets even better when you point it toward a high def movie file on your network. it-just-works!
i cannot believe this is linux. there is no setup, and its fast. this thing really is a game changer. a $45 device can go inside almost any tv, basically drawing no power, and turn that tv into a smart tv. this is just amazing! im so excited about these, the software will be constantly growing for years to come for sure, and its off to an incredibly smooth start.
