[Like I said, still a great piece of hardware.

When a new Android phone comes out with the same hardware as the last version which is a year old its usually cheaper. Or they upgrade the hardware even if the old hardware was fine. And these phones still have good support if you buy a big name brand.

In the end I doubt it will sell all that great since most people will wait for a big price cut or the think its middleware with the new HDMI specs..

And it is cheaper, the remote is now included at the same price. So even though it's the same price, you get more since by itself the remote is $50. So for what you got before for $250 you now get for $200. And comparing it to phones is apples and oranges, usually (not always) the hardware is updated because the new phone adds features which aren't supported on the old hardware, not to mention that some of it is just marketing hype so they can sell new hardware which was unnecessary anyway. But no those phones don't always get good support and most will be stuck on old OSs or have to wait months or perhaps never to receive the latest version of Android.

Besides that, Nvidia hasn't even announced a successor to the X1. So what does anyone expect the hardware to be upgraded to.

It should be refreshing that a company isn't requiring their customers to buy a new device just to receive the latest features.
