Broadcom 2835 SOC, an 802.11n radio, a MicroSD slot, Bluetooth, 256mb nand

xd/xs models have 256 mb dram and poor old hd is left behind with only 128 mb dram so hopefully no more out of storage errors so long as channels can be stored on inexpensive microcd. i think i have couple 4gb around somewhere.

i think internal flash is same for all Roku2, 256mb - which is the same as last years XDS (vs HD/XD w/64mb - those were running out of storage).

why new HD has only 128mb ram (vs old models all with 256) is a bit of mystery but i will improvise guessing they observed for video up to 720p they can fit in less than 256.

too bad they don't open up c/linux to developers.

I have to wonder if the Roku 2 SDK isn't c/c++ based.

As a partner, you may have access to some lower level stuff, but I don't think they'll be moving away from BrightScript anytime soon.

is there link to partner program... or it by invitation only...
