Bought this off Newegg for about $70.
Rockchip RK3066 Dual-Core Cortex A9
Quad Core Mali 400 / 1GB DDR3 / 8GB NAND Flash
PRO: XBMC installs and works fine, just as it does on my 2nd Gen AppleTV and wifes Android tablet. SMB menu navigation is actually faster than the old ATV. XBMC boots up faster. MP3 visualizations are better.
CON: You actually need a mouse and keyboard to navigate, the simple remote control cant actually tab or switch from login/password prompts to the virtual keyboard. With the Netflix app, since you cant access the left menu (which displays all the different genre of content, TV, Kids, Educational, etc) with the remote, its basically useless with the basic remote.
