"It also has a quick standby mode using Intel's VIIV technology, which brings it up in 15 seconds, as opposed to the 50 with a normal player."
WTF !? In the old days, one of the features differencing standalone players from HTPCs was the boot-up, which was way faster on a standalone player...
The Joe 6 packs of the world will go crazy with these startup times if this isn't corrected fast. Can't wait to see how much time my XBOX360 will take to boot-up and be able to read a HD-DVD. I hope it'll be less than 50s, or even I will go crazy.
