Really, not one mention of Plex? And it doesn't even require jailbreaking on iDevices! There's also an unofficial build for jailbroken ATV2.
The latest re-architected version (.9) is really nice in that you define your library on one computer and then all devices connect to it, giving the benefit of one-time configuration, shared "watched" indicators, and the ability to start on one device and continue on another. I see XBMC is touting the fact that it's not a thin client and there's no transcoding - which is a good point - but it's a trade off that you'll want to look into.
The Plex iOS app was also designed from the ground up as a touch app, unlike XBMC being ported directly over, at least for now. Looking at that page I'm not sure how it's controlled.
Yay competition!
