AK802 Mini Android 4.0 Media Player w/ US Plug / Wi-Fi / HDMI / TF / USB - Black (4GB / 1GB DDR III)

Pros: This little Android is slightly bigger than a USB drive, so it is small. It is fast, very fast for me. My TV says it is receiving true 1080i signal. The picture is very crisp and clear. We watch network movies on it where our old Android would choke. 8Gb is plenty of memory.

Cons: It has 2 USB ports which is nice, but you are forced to burn one for a USB keyboard/mouse. It does not have Bluetooth, so you can't use Bluetooth keyboard/mouse.

Other: I've already ordered my second one. What are you waiting for?

Pros: Decent speed from the small device. Enough flash rom to install some apps without need of installing microsd card or usb thumb drive. 1GB of ram should be enough even for future releases of android.

Cons: A bit flakey graphics, probably will be corrected in future firmware releases. No way to change resolution from 720P and portrait applications can't be rotated to work in landscape setup. Processor is 1GHz and CPU is 500MHz, the device was misinformed to have 1.5GHz cpu which is the clocks combined.

Other: Good media player for what it's worth, linux support in forms of debian and ubuntu are decent too.

Pros: I ordered this for my TV so I can watch youtube, videos and internet through it. I am using Yle areena (finnish news etc), MediaHouse UPnP / DLNA Browser to stream from the computer and MOBO player to play videos. Spotify also runs OK.

Cons: Voddler does not run: it starts and then it crashes. Same with some other programs, they probably try to use phone part that is missing. I really wanted Voddler...

Other: Good player, fast enough, easy enough to use.

Pros: This is an MK802 Pros: Small form factor Works as advertised. Came with all the cables and connectors needed to get it up and going. The GPU does the job well. Full 1080p decode without any lag. Streaming via Netflix and other apps work great. I use this device to turn my "dumb-TV" into a "Smart-TV". Play games, videos on disk or sdcard, streaming video, youtube, etc. Also useful for displaying recipies in the kitchen while cooking, travel itineraries, etc. Very small and portable. I have brought this with me on overnight business trips to watch video on the big hotel screens. Wifi works great and has been sufficient for all streaming needs. USB ethernet adapters work too: SKU 2797 You can boot linux from the microSD card slot as well. (Currently no codec support in linux for this GPU - so codec functions are done in the slow gpu). XBMC coming soon. Supports USB cabled or wireless(RF) keyboard & Mouse.

Cons: The firmware is a bit lacking. This was not an issues as I immediately updated to the uberoid beta2 ROM via the livesuit app to flash the rom onto the device. CPU is a bit underpowered. A single core, 1Ghz is barely sufficient for today's apps. While updating apps the device is significantly slow No bluetooth on board. USB-Bluetooth dongle support is not available in android kernels at this point. (USB Bluetooth dongle is supported under linux).

Other: Great value for the price - newer versions are out now. There are newer devices out there that have better HW specs (ie. faster and dual core processors) and aren't much more expensive.

Pros: Pretty nice device. Totally configurable, you can install practically any apk, despite games and some other stuff that needs GPSes, gyroscope. Just got and took me a few time to install all needed apks I used for browsing, movies and explore. Worked fine with my mini wireless keyboard I bought few years back on DX. It has a nice video quality.

Cons: It's not as fast as top ranked smartphones, even my S2 beats it for a large diference on every sense, but still works well to access my gmail, browse and watch movies.

Other: I was specting a bit more speed. Took about 20 days to ship and two before it arrives, the price dropped 10 bucks.

Pros: Very fast and reliable. Boots in seconds. Can easily replace a desktop or laptop computer that is used for browsing/email/facebook/twitter etc. Comes with ALL the cables you will need (Mini HDMI to HDMI included in the package) Nice video playback. Has Android 4.0 ICS!

Cons: None so far.

Other: Want to convert tour TV into a Smart TV ? Buy it. Want to replace your bulky desktop for daily Internet use? Buy it.

Pros: *Plays flash contents (several other android devices does not work instead they specify 10.1 flash support) *The HDMI cable is included *It comes factory rooted *Very fast in video playing *High definition: Works at fixed resolution 1920x1080

Cons: *It needs an additional device to operate (a mouse, at least) and is unusable itself out-of-the-box *Not so easy for basic users, so the external storage access is not easy, forcing to navigate through the filesystem *You must install other than default apps and personalize it to achieve your needs *No power-off button, so it stays always on (not heating so much, but the external HD is always working and i think it's bad) *It does not reach the 1'5ghz never, it only goes to 912Mhz *Don't know how to select the menu options in recovery mode (the external keyboard does not work) *I can't contact the device's factory to look if there's firmware updates *The price compared to a tablet pc is similar, but without a touch interface and screen (it makes to think a lot before choosing to buy it)

Other: I bought and tried several options (philips, western digital, woxter, a tablet with hdmi and so others) and this is the best option. I carry it on holidays in a small bag and watched anything i wanted in the hotel room as easy as plug it and play At home it's installed with no complicated cable

Pros: The very latest Android 4.0, combined with 1GB of RAM and reasonably good display chip (even HD YouTube shows nicely) this is a nice way to have "SmartTV" features in your HDMI-equipped TV set.

Cons: Warms up somewhat, you would be wise to suspend the stick "in the air" and not to leave it flat on any surface. Needs an external USB keyboard/mouse combo and those cannot beat touchscreen in the default Android GUI evinronment.

Other: Nice, fast, economical "SmartTV" enhancement of your regular (only HDMI-equipped) TV.

Pros: - Easy to install - Easy to configure - Good hardware specification - Can use it on any HDMI TV ou Monitor - Has Android Market - totally portable. you can take it with you in your pocket. - video playback works well with me.

Cons: - Sometimes screens flickers when using 3D wallpapers

Other: I still need to test it with XBMC and VLC. My objective is a mini player where i can watch TV Series and Movies with subtitles. Also, it looks like a MK802 clone, but nothing you should bother about.

Pros: Works very well, the internet wireless is good, and works with almost of the apps on the google play.

Cons: Some app crash, them you have to wait to work. Only games that are widescreen works (Where is my water cut the screen). There is no power off button, you have to pull the font to power off.

Other: It was a purchase that I regret nothing, as it is small and has no cooler, it heats up a bit, but so far I have not had problems. Buy without fear!
