i just saw the announcement of this new streaming device. i've looked at the website briefly but it's a big vague...i'm looking for a streaming device that will stream internet content such as netlfix, pandora and picasaweb plus local content stored on my pc via my network. so far the only devices that are coming out that can do that are bluray players such as the lg bd390 and upcoming bd590....will the boxy box do all of the above streaming or will i need to connect my locally stored content via a usb device rather than stream it? it looks like it has internet media covered off very nicely...

why did they make it look like a MCE with down syndrome?

stats are great though!

lots of complaints about the form factor over on the avs forums...but my question is on functionality.

I would need to see the hardware that is inside the box.
That case style will hurt its sales a lot because it will make it hard to integrate with existing HT equipment.

Nvidia tegra 2, I believe.

As far as it's form factor - remember, it's really really small.. It's not the size of a gamecube, and is closer to the size of a tennis ball
