what display outputs does it have? I didn't see any in the summary, which makes this a different market than the raspberry pi

1.5 GHz Quad core and 1Gb RAM not enough difference?

Micro HDMI. You have to go to the technical details tab to see it mentioned.

and a 3D hardware acceleration... this thing is so cool.

For $35 you can get a really decent computer. Makes it really viable for people to run a small unix dev machine or buy a bunch of these to run a miniature server farm.

Curious about the power consumption.

In some other news, I read something about ~2x that of a Raspberry, I think it was about 0,5A. That seems to me a fair deal for much more speed.

Also you get a 1GBit Ethernet port, I think Raspberry has only 100MBit/s.

I heard something, that the software (hardware drivers and other things) support for these not so much sold devices is sparse. Does anybody know more? I guess, they ported some Linux on it, but how about media server software (like XBMC/Kodi) and other stuff??

According to the Technical Detail tab : "5V2A DC input : This is for 5V power input, with an inner diameter of 0.8mm, and an outer diameter of 2.5mm. The ODROID-C1 consumes less than 0.5A in most cases, but it can climb to 2A if many passive USB peripherals are attached directly to the main board. "

A lot of people in the HTPC community are buying these things for just that purpose. This board should be excellent as a HTPC.
