128MiB (Model A) or 256MiB of SDRAM (Model B), stacked on top of the CPU as a PoP device
OpenGL ES 2.0
1080p30 H.264 high-profile decode
Composite and HDMI video output
One USB 2.0 port provided by the BCM2835
SD/MMC/SDIO memory card slot

Heard rumors that someone on the dev team might be playing with one already Tongue @davilla?

from Wikipedia

Raspberry Pi community forum administrators have mentioned that XBMC developers are also in development of a port of XBMC media center software to Broadcom BCM2835 SoC based devices using the Raspberry Pi board as its reference platform.[14][15][2]

I've been following news about the raspberry board for awhile now, and I have high hopes! Smile

Sounds like a hopeful statement to me.
If xbmc is ported to this thing it will sure boost sales for those making the Pi.
You guys should ask for a percentage of the $ from sales hahaha.

That's a nice one :-)
I've heard that those devices are capable of playing 1080p, while being sold for around 25 bucks.
Hmmm.... Could it be.... who knows...
