Nice work. Let's hope it will be jailbroken soon so we can run XBMC on it

Great stuff!! Already ordered one, so I'm very pleased to see it's got double the ram. That should be more than sufficient of an upgrade for the experience.

And now macrumors has picked up on this thread.
This thread would make a nice XBMC front page news story. Flirc now has a forum: forum.flirc.tv |

Thanks for the teardown! My ATV3 won't arrive until tomorrow; this almost makes up for it! More RAM is going to be fantastic for XBMC

Would love to see someone hack Linux on it. With 512 MB RAM it's definitely worth it, would be a perfect Xbmc box. Way better than the previous AppleTVs. The GPU will probably be a problem though...

Wow this was a bit more popular then I realized. Thanks for the compliments. I still would like to see what the wifi/bluetooth is. I hope the iFixit crew is going to do it soon, those guys do far better work then I! I love that site!
For all the excitement I am still worried about the timing of a jailbreak. The ATV2 had bootrom exploit so it was just finding a means for untether. Without having a bug infested browser on the ATV3 so many of the exploits go out the window. This little box is cool and usable but without XBMC it's about a 10th of its potential. Let's hope they can find something.
