Hmm this is the first time I have used XBMC so I don't really have any other experience to pit it against, but for the price its a brilliant piece of kit.
The software which I'm using (Raspbmc) is still in Alpha phrase but is already very stable (only crashed a couple of times - but thats because it was disagreeing with some add ons I was trying out). There is a very small amount of delay when switching between screens but nothing to drastic (less that 1 sec) and as the software improves Im sure that will go away.

The model I have is the 'Model B' which is the better one of the 2 (A&B) and also has a RJ45 plug. You can add wireless and bluetooth support with USB dongals but at the moment there is limited Driver support, again Im sure this will improve with time (I managed to get my wireless & bluetooth working without much issue).

The only limitation I have found out is that it does not play RMVB files (there is sound but no video), not sure if this is the same for other XBMC builds, but other than that it has handled all the video files I had thrown at it. Playback is smooth and expected, and add ons such as Navi-X and Icefilms works very well on it.

I hope that gives you a bit of insight, I will update you with more info as I find out if you are interested.

Ohh, just tried Todou this morning and its working! Not sure what happened, but I am using the modified file from sciburst (few post above). I hope this will last, really enjoying it =)

Sadly, looking at how often the site changes, it is not going to last but I am keeping my fingers crossed. At least I am glad that it is finally working for you.

Would you mind sharing your experience of running XBMC on Raspberry Pi? I think I will be going the same way eventually. Which model did you get? What sort of performance, stability and limitations should one expect? Thanks!
