It runs Linux and is powered by an Intel Atom processor clocked at 800Mhz along with Intel's GMA500, which is basically a licensed PowerVR SGX GPU. Except for the better GPU (and its screen and keyboard of course), it is similarly spec-ed as some of the lower end netbooks. XBMC would make a great portable media player, given it's ability to play media off the network and virtually all file formats, but in the end it depends on the price-point of these MIDs.

Here's the video.

In this effort, they are recruiting developers. XBMC is, by far, one of the finest projects to come out of the open source community; and to think it is homebrew. XBMC is a massive project, with the current SVN branch weighing about 350M before compilation. Porting it will be a big effort and any hackers willing to contribute should check out the Linux port project.
