Earlier this month, game developer David Braben and his Rasberry Pi nonprofit foundation revealed a $25 USB PC. The computer can connect to an HDMI monitor on one end, and a USB peripheral on the other (such as a keyboard or a USB hub). You can use the USB hub to connect multiple items, such as a keyboard, mouse, printer, USB ethernet/wireless, creating a fully functional computer.

it didnt say it was in color. for all we know it could be a 2 bit display.

Many of the mobile ARM CPUs come with H.264 decoders that are independent of the CPU. As dedicated hardware they can easily do 1080p far more efficiently than the ARM processor.

Same ARM11 that is running 1080p in Android flats. Can you explain why it will not run 1080p?
