Mini Android 4.0 Network Media Player w/ Wi-Fi / HDMI / USB / Micro USB - Black (512RAM / 4GB)

Pros: - When I opened the package I wonder the size of the device, small. Quite nice small. Great. - Quality of components are good. All connections also have a good quality, HDMI, USB and mini usb. - Pluging a Unifying Logitech Unit is detected immediately and can use several external devices at the same time. I use Logitech Performance MX mouse and K400 keyboard.

Cons: - Device is not rooted, it should be. I'm involving in it right now. It seems kind difficult. Cause it, some preinstalled apps cannot be uninstalled (chinese apps i don't want and comes into the ROM) or even updated, as Flash Player. - It comes with the Chinese language as default language, so you need some time to find language settings. - It comes with a cable USB-mini USB, and need a USB power supplier, so in case your TV it has not a USB powered you need to buy a supplier for USB. - CPU is enough to web browsing, mailing, playing media but it freezes with games. - I miss a power off option instead unplug the usb power cable.

Other: Nice device to convert a TV into a smart TV. I'm not thinking in use it as PC so CPU and storage capacity are enough for me. My only real complaint is about it is not pre rooted.

Pros: Perfect little Android device. Plug it straight into the HDMI port on you TV and a USB port and away you go. Gives you the Android experience on the big screen.

Cons: The default language was in Japanese I believe, which made it hard until I was able to change the language to English. A bit of an oversight since English is one of the major languages around the world. Fortunately I had another ICS device I could check the menus and change the language, without this I would have been stuck since I did not know ICS very well.

Other: Great little device with a few minor issues that can be overlooked. It is going to be a great media device.

Pros: + Runs Android 4.0 + The Mali-400 GPU is a wide spread GPU with quite decent movie support, found in numerous smart phones. + The price is ridiculously cheap + Excellent support for USB peripherals (USB HDD's, Wireless Mice, Wireless Keyboards) + The device generally seems to be hackable. It has a update function for nandroid updates. + The experimental XBMC nightlies performs wonderful on this device! Though it lacks support for hardware video decoding, so it is not feasable at the moment. (However, expect that to change, as this is a widespread GPU.) Also the default XBMC skin is not usable for keyboard-only navigation. (There is no way to skip out of settings without a mouse.) + Excellent language support for a wide range of languages. + The on-screen keyboard can be configured to use many different keyboard layouts. (Though a hardware keyboard is stuck with US layout, unless you root the device.) + Supports output resolutions from 640x480 to 1920x1080 (1080p)

Cons: - No internal battery means your USB power needs to be connected at all times. - There are some slight annoyances. - The memory is quite low, so switching between apps is quite slow. Especially switching over to web browsing is slow. - The CPU is slow (not extremely slow, but web browsing won't compare to your snappy quad core Galaxy SIII or One X) - You can forget to try to play video codecs not supported by the GPU hardware decoder because of the slow CPU. - You can't install Adobe flash - While using physical keyboards, you are limited to US layout. If you get root access this is fixable by hacking /system/usr/keycodes/qwerty.kcm, though. (I'm still trying to get root access.) - I think you'd bettter have some basic (or perhaps advanced) technical skills. Not for the every day use, but for general trouble shooting. That will help tremendously if you run into problems as there is not support hotline to chat with and no store to consult. (Retry & Reboot will help you a lot!)

Other: You will need to complement this device with a USB hub and preferably a USB HDD, a (wireless) USB keyboard and a (wireless) USB mouse. That is, unless you decides to stick with only a mouse and use the stock on-screen android 4.0 keyboard for text input and a network share for streaming your media. Apart from that, I can recommend using a regular MicroUSB phone charger for power supply as it will save you a lot of headache. Sure, if you feel the need for having everything polished and just "working out of the box", this is not your device. There are a few minor annoyances, but overall it is a wonderful device for a very small price tag. Mind you, if you run into a problem -- prepare to smash your head into a wall. Problems will generally mean dead ends, as there doesn't exist a large community based upon this device that can help you out. Oh, and Spotify works like a charm. I have my device connected to my Amplifier and uses it as a jukebox when my TV is off. :-)

Pros: Shows local videos if copied to it, shows a clear picture. Android 4.0 looks very nice on it, compact and cool

Cons: Low memory, slow, the google play store is not a signed DOES NOT WORK AT ALL, the browser crashes so you cant practically download anything from the net. It can be practically used only for displaying whatever was copied to its storage

Other: Not recommended if you want to get full advantage of Android.
