I just picked one of these up at Target. (On sale for $99 until 7/24!)

WOW, this is a lot faster than the older model. Informal measurements suggest it's at least twice as fast.

I'm wondering if rather than adding an ARM coprocessor just for Python if they didn't just replace the Z80 entirely, and either port the firmware to ARM (kinda doubt it), or emulate the Z80 on ARM to run the firmware (more plausible). Has anybody peeked at the guts to see what the CPU situation is? I'm definitely liking the very noticeable speed boost!
