    Hm, there is a big difference, Ultra is Intel x86-Atom + Nvidia ION2, Prodigy uses a Realtek chip (No XBMC).

    No, there are 2 USB2.0 connections and 1 USB3.0 connection on the back.

    Misschien zie ik het verkeerd, maar de Prodigy biedt in tegenstelling tot de Ultra toch geen mogelijkheid tot het installeren van XBMC?

    The biggest difference is that the ultra is an HTPC (and so, capable of running XBMC and such) and the prodigy is just a media player, rather like all those “multimedia HDs”, only a bit more sophisticated. I do not see why they put USB3 and gigabit in it since to play even the highest bitrated HD media USB2 and fast ethernet is more than enough. If instead of a realtek chip it had a real CPU+GPU combo (like ION2 and Atom the ultra has) in a standard PC configuration and with the right amount of RAM, it could be an interesting beast.
