New XBMC Port Promises ARM-Powered HD In the Palm of Your Hand

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the melts-in-your-mouth dept.

Engadget has a recent teaser video promising HD content via XBMC running on a 600MHz Beagleboard. This could mean great things for home theater putterers, with the Beagleboard tipping the scales at a modest $150 and the ability to fit in the palm of your hand. Already running on everything from MIDs to AppleTVs and now moving to ARM-powered devices like the Beagleboard, it looks like XBMC needs to be renamed from "Xbox Media Center" to "ubiquitous media center."

    " XBMC Media Center"

    Isn't that Redundant? I thought that XBMC = X-Box Media Center. Did they rename it to X-Box Media Center Media Center?
