Humm, I might be wrong given new information, while the hardware CAN decode all major formats, licensing will determine which formats are enabled. If anyone needs further info on this point, I suggest contacting the Raspberry Pi contacts as this falls outside of any xbmc port to this platform.

Hurray for software patents!
Code:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `xbmc_%`.* TO 'xbmc'@'%';

Cheapest aRM rumour I know of:

They claim to be 3x faster than raspberrypi and cost only 14 dollar...

Playing video is not the big deal, there are plenty of video flying around with R-Pi's playing 1080p video content.

Well, since the goal of the R-Pi is primarily educational and secondarily for the hobbyist/hacker rather than as a dedicated media player, I'm not sure that the linked media player will make the Pi DOA (whether it boasts wi-fi, or not)..... the moboplay will just be another media player in an already crowded market
whereas the r-pi will run xbmc - which is awesome - plus you'll also be able to automate your chicken coup with it.... and teach your kids some Python
...personally, I'll be buying one, whether or not xbmc flies on it

At $35 for the B model I'll buy one purely out of curiousity - and of course to impress my geek friends :-)

I'll be dropping £25 the minute it's out. Then, I'll be dropping some more £'s on a Gertboard. Looks like it's gonna be a lot of fun!
Then, I'll probably have to buy another one to install xbmc on as well.... of course!
Just have to be patient now (and hope I can snag one of the first batch!)
