So who wants to go flood the ARCHOS facebook page with requests for XBMC? Their facebook rep just said something about their included media player being better than XBMC...

I like that its something different than just the "generic same as every other android set top box" devices that have been springing up all over.
It could possibly have a bit more user friendly setup and interface for those unfamiliar with XBMC.
The learning curve for configuring an XBMC install is far less steep than it was even 2 or 3 years ago but you still have to have a lot of technical aptitude to get the most out of XBMC.
However, a dumb down MC program to make for an easier out of box experience doesn't mean its a superior program and to make any claim to the contrary would be a big mistake on their
part and help to doom their product before its even launched.

From my experience XBMC looks pretty basic to the untrained eye. It's only when you invest some time in reading the Wiki and forum you start to encover all it's mysteries. This person clearly not.

This is interesting. they really don't know what they are trying to campare to, do they?? the hardware looks like it could be a decent option so long as xbmc is compatible. :-)

Lol really? A keyboard on a gaming controller? That thing must be so uncomfortable to hold.
