This is a question that has been plaguing me for quite a while.
I currently have 3 ION and ION2 based machines, and 2 NVidia GF210 machines running XBMC. I have not had any interest in getting an ATV2 just to jailbreak and still be limited to 720p anyway, maybe I will once Eden comes out and it has been optimized and is officially ready for iOS.
I would really like to know if there are any specific devices in on the RoadMap to have complete 1080p support for XBMC coming up.
The DLink Boxee Box was supposed to be the magical device that could do it all and keep the price under $200 for a complete solution including a remote, but of course they have that thing locked down and nobody has successfully got XBMC on it yet.
The CE4100 chip that was in the Boxee Box is very interesting though, with boxes from Asus and Acer supposedly coming out, but again, ability to install XBMC on these devices may not happen.
So, this may be a question for somebody high up in the development of XBMC, but what small inexpensive devices may have complete support in Eden (besided the ATV2).
If I still need to go the ION based HTPC for the near future, that's fine, and I can handle that if I need to.
Thanks.
