The touchscreens I have, both 15inch Elo, only have VGA inputs and use COM for the touch interface.
Are you sure? I've installed hundreds of 15" ELO touchscreens and they all could be used with either USB or serial. Unless you have a really old model or something?
XBMC 1080p on a $25 computer, now that's awesome!

The first 10k batch of these will all be the Model Bs ($35.) I bet a lot of us won't have a chance to get one before they are sold out. I have a feeling demand will be pretty high for these.
The real tragedy, at least in my mind, is that the vast majority will probably end up on eBay within a couple hours as massively inflated prices.
can it also play the 3d videos?
Totally different things. XBMC is compiled for the target device, so it runs native on each platform.i wonder.. if this can run XBMC on it, can it play xbox games also?

N64/PS1 may work but also remember that the RPi has a armv6 cpu most smart phones are armv7 and up. most of these emulators will need a bit of optimization.
The architecture and older model numbers use similar, but different conventions.So I am no pro at arm, but all the info says its arm11.. So whats this version thing you speak of.
If a model with 512MB and WiFi is around $60-$70, that looks to be an awesome alternative. A dual Cortex A9 and ability to run ICS trounces the cheaper RPi.http://alwaysinnovating.com/products/hdmidongle.htm
Its smaller, way more powerful and has integrated wifi

I'm having 2nd thoughts on the Rpi
This will probably better fit my needs.

Also recognize the fact that the the RPi was never meant to be used for a HTPC, its just a nice side effect, its meant to teach computer science to high school students.
If you want power build a x86 based system or try out ARM systems like the Panda Board or the Beagle Board Mx.
Indeed. That's why I said it would better fit my needs.
Still, if a 512mb hdmi dongle hit the sub $70 price point. then it could be a better deal than the Rpi, considering you get wifi, a remote and a built in OS and again a much more powerful cpu/gpu.
The price of the Rpi can easily double once you factor a wifi adapter, SD card, case, Power supply, KB, mouse, etc.
Geeks may find that a bare circuit board with some wires attached is acceptable, but others will want a more finished product.
It will be an extra cost option according to the FAQ:The forthcoming Model A is supposed to include a case.
It doesn't really address the other few problems it has as a consumer oriented device, but like I wrote above, the way it's sold is fine for its intended (core) audience. It's still a pretty good device for hackers and an excellent value overall.Will it have a case?
Not for the first batch. We’ll be making and selling cases by the summer; you’ll be able to buy a unit with or without a case, or a case on its own. The education release later in 2012 will have a case by default. There are lots of homebrew case discussions on the forum.
