Forgive me for my ignorance on this particular matter but... how can you see all that so clearly on those 2 pics?

I mean, can we have a somewhat more explicit explanation on all those cables lying around? For instance, the box on the top right is an USB hub? How about the one on the center?

On the other hand, it doesn't help that the specs say you have a bunch of things (Composite and HDMI video output, USB 2.0, SD/MMC/SDIO memory card slot, General-purpose I/O, etc) and you look at the usb thumb and only see 3 things: power connection, usb and I can only guess mini-usb??

In short, how did you noticed all the things I apparently am missing?

I'll stick with my ION box. Only cost about $300, runs a full, real OS, and is a hell of a lot more capable.

One end is the HDMI cable, I dont know about composite, the usb is easily seen, the sd is on the underside of the board from what I can tell, and on the front of the board is a port that modules can be plugged into eg the webcam you see on the site.

Which ION box?

So you're saying the Debian that my SheevaPlug runs isn't a Full and Real OS?
As long as the 1080p decoder set is supported in Linux/VAAPI there's no reason this couldn't be the killer hardware set for XBMC.
