So far it looks about the same except for the addition of the Wifi/Bluetooth. I replaced my Pi2 with the 3 which I use for Kodi. My Pi2 was running Openelec with Kodi. I switched the SD card into the Pi 3 and it didn't run. I had to reinstall a new rev on a fresh SD card. So they're SD swapable in my one experience. I haven't tested other SD card distros in this way so you may have different results. I switched to using OSMC as a base and I don't see a difference in performance when using Kodi. It plays files and streams the same as the Pi 2. I'll explore overclocking, etc. as use demands. It's worth the upgrade just for the Wifi. No extra usb things to buy, except external storage, so that's a big plus.

This thing works. I installed Pi NoIR camera and the WLAN worked perfectly with the first try.

Pros: - Fast - WIFI (this is so nice!!!) - Bluetooth Cons: - Use a lot of juice. Can't use the usb power from my TV anymore.

Good CPU power and memory. Embeded Wifi and bluetooth support are really a plus compared to PI2. OSMC run like a charm. Raspbian bluetooth setup not easy (via command line), but works natively. Graphic bluetooth setup shoud be implemented.

What a great little thing! I have 1 card with the standard OS on it and another with Retropie (old games). Such a versatile machine. Thanks!
