Hmmm...uses the same Sigma chip as the latest Tvix and Popcorn Hour - and at a pretty good price. If the general feedback is positive I might consider it for a 2nd media player.
 
If you could simply install a HDD into the unit without having to go the USB route, I would've bought one. I was also interested at first, until I saw that I need to "daisy chain" an external to it in order to play movies and stuff. I'm a bit disappointed TBH
