The box was only released yesterday, so I expect to see the first real hands-on reviews to start appearing tommorow.
Root is definitly something that worries me about the box. I don't think we'll be out of luck for streaming content as it already has a plex app. I prefer XBMC much more of course.
Amazon has been blocking and defeating XDAs attempts to keep rooting it's latest fire tablet. We'll just have to see what can be done. If I can't stream my content then I still have my gbox to run XBMC on. Running two systems is not the solution I was hoping for, but I am sure the fire tv will be a high quality, fast, streaming box.
If it turns out we can never root it, and that one of these chinese manufacturers finally pop out a good box that doesn't keep me spending more time getting the perfect experience than actually using my tv for media, then I'll sell the fire and buy a good quad-core competing device.
