What does it mean when it says, for the SD card, it is loaded with XBMC

the card it's loaded with a few options for an OS to install. XBMC can be an option. For example, when you load for the first time your raspberry with this SD card, you would be available to select the OS you wish to install. I choose the XBMC and Raspbian. The SD card make the install and for now on, every time you conect your raspberry you have to select wich OS to boot.

XMBC is the operating system (http://xbmc.org/about/), Means that the SD comes with NOOB (operating system selector software) and NOOB allows you to install RASPBMC (a pi version of xmbc) in your pi at startup. Hope it helps

XBMC is a media center / operation system . So this basically saying that when you buy your SD card it will have already pre- installed an media center on the SD card

Its "ubuntu" and yes, provided you plug it in, i think thats what you meant by download, or plug in the sd card

Guy - Thank you for your response. Is it possible that it was the size (64G) as opposed to it being an SDHC? I read that it will only support up to 32G. Also I believe it needs to be formatted to FAT, but I could be wrong. It seems somewhat pointless if it only works with SD cards without the High Capacity as almost all of them are SDHC these days.

That's correct. You have to download and install XBMC in order to play your media.

It works with Ubuntu 12.04 and the device is recognized as a keyboard and mouse, so it should work with xbmc, provided you are running a newer kernel version with the drivers. I don't know exact version required, but like I said Ubuntu 12.04 (Linux kernel 3.2) works great, and so does Raspbian.

I put in a 64GB SDXC card in mine and it works fine. There are no 128GB cards yet, though I hear they are coming. Since this reads a 64GB SDXC card presumably it will read the 128GB SDXC when they are available.

May just mean that, if someone brings out such a card it will work. See http://www.fastcompany.com/1131088/2tb-memory-card-arrives-panasonics-sdxc-format. Most of us use 64 or, very pricey, 128. Great device, great sound, great price.

Yes, XBMC installs and runs fine in general. There are many different sub builds of XBMC available, however. Codec support for certain video playback is hit or miss. Some builds work exceptionally well , and some do not work as well.

Kind of a dumb question because the headline says "32GB SD card", but I thought that might mean that it *takes* such a card.

the simple answer is No! XBMC is not even pre loaded you will have to go to the website and download it. Get yourself a MX2 midnight addition by Matricom (g box).I love it!

This is an android computer, and as such candidates stream or play anything an android Phone or tablet can. You would need to check specific sites or if they have an app you can download it from google play store, your other option would be to see if they have or are in a xbmc add-on.

I have no idea but I learned how to use it by asking questions in the xbmc.com forums and they really help out

Read the product description, Reggie. "Auto detect card memory, support SDXC up to 2TB"

The SD specification (v3.01), "SDXC supports cards up to 2 TB (2048 GB), compared to a limit of 32 GB for SDHC cards in the SD 2.0 specification". So, maximum storage capacity for an sd HC card is 32Gb, maximum storage capacity for an sd XC card is 2Tb. When the technology is available to manufacture and sell the cards economically, the technical specifications will support it. Kind of like how 64bit memory addressing can theoretically allow for 16 Exabytes of memory; it's capable, but the tech just isn't there yet.
