Mixed bag? I don't know - I think this looks better than the X1. Considering it will probably be cheaper than the X1, this is pretty much a bag of awesome.

@FotoGi: I didn't know you could do that. How well does it work? How is the quality compared to one of the Netflix console boxes? Tell me everything.

I wish that it ran iOS, just for the absurdity of connecting a bluetooth keyboard.

"Ouch! Bag of hurt!"

@GizmoTron9000VowsToEarnBackHis...: It definitely won't support .mkv.

@Derbeste: You would think so, but it sounds like twothefuturewhatever is saying that not having a touchscreen is one need that all things share.

@talkingstove: Oh, well then... I like it.

It doesn't seem much faster than doing these things with your hands, especially since it still requires so much touch input. I would be more interested if it was entirely usable with the phone in your pocket, via a headset. This is how I use the iPhone voice commands, limited though they are - for instance, initiating…
