Connected it last night - screen slightly blurry when looking at small print (maybe due to HDMI to SCART conversion - it had certainly looked crisper on the projection system at work).
Basically, an android tablet writ large, but with a touchpad (seemed odd at first holding the remote "sideways", and using a button to flip the pad between moving the pointer and scrolling the screen).
BBC iPlayer and so on "just worked" - I'm going to see if I can plug a"proper" keyboard into the USB port, because I'd not want to do any serious typing on the clicky-buttoned keyboard that slides out of the remote.
Youtube fine, flash animations fine, Android shop accessible (I didn't try any of the games, but they looked pretty enough).
I didn't check out displaying USB stick content or work through all the options from the homepage, but I have to say I'm pretty happy with it.
