It is not forward thinking as it lacks gigabit ethernet :|
Hopefully this or other fully-HD models do not suffer the plague of not being able to mount multiple (auth) CIFS/SMB shares simultaneously. With appropriate CIFS support internal HDDs become a novelty. I shall prefer mine to not-include HDDs. I already acquire- and store my media elsewhere.
Hopefully firmware source code availability will lead to built-in support to browse NZB-sites and download NZB to designated CIFS share blackhole (for other box to process).
torrent? no thanks
DLNA is lowest common denominator.. hopefully its upnp has more potential.

Having a test unit available at brick-n-mortar stores will allay worries of media compatibility. $400 for the “privilege” of beta testing *claimed* format/container compatibility with MY media is not the least bit desirable.
When can we expect that?
