It works with XBMC also in full HD without problems.
The Jetson Tk1 can software decode easily one 720p movie per core and
it got 4 cores.

I was speaking from actual testing in my post above. XBMC will not play full bitrate (Bluray quality) 1080p with software decoding on the Jetson, in my experience. It does do some 1080p, maybe up to 8 Mbps or so.
Regarding netbooks playing 720p, I also have an Atom netbook, and it will decode video if it's not doing anything else at the same time. But trying to stream 720p is a no go because it doesn't have enough spare cycles to stream and decode at the same time. The TK1 has 4+1 cores, so it has no problem streaming up to its maximum decode rate.
Also, once someone takes the time to get XBMC working with hardware decoding, it will easily do 1080p or possibly 4K. The Cuda cores in the GPU are rated at 320 Gigaflops of performance, which will obliterate a netbook or many desktops.
