    I already have a USB hub like this at home, if I plug that in to the single USB port on this thing will Android be able to pick up a usb keyboard and usb mouse connected to it?

    I might be wrong but I think it will require a powered USB hub

    something like this

    Surely this will suck as your TV isn't touch screen.

    You could add THIS for $75.98 (€60.50) In December/January :p

    When you have Windows 8 installed on it.. :D

    It has bluetooth & usb so u can connect keyboard and mouse.

    Also u can get apps in googleplay store to use ur phone or tablet as touchscreen remote control

    I don't think bluetooth is build in. No mention of it in the ops link and the on one Do-more posted says.
    -It also no RGB port,no S-video port, no built-in IR,no built-in bluetooth.


    <edit> Came to €57.29, ordered form Do-more's link.

    Just got this message from the seller this morning, so it's not going as smoothly as he first indicated!

    Hopefully he really will get the stock from the factory and not mess us all about.
    I asked factory about stock , they said will have stock tomorrow ,
    but all is white color , pls let me know if white color is ok ?
    If white color is ok , i can send your order in 3 workdays !
    Have a good day

    Scary stuff alright, but are these yokes just mobile phones with the screen and battery and a few other gubbins taken out ????

    I think so... surely it is easier to just carry around an Android phone instead of one of these things and a keyboard and a cable for the TV... (edit) and a power cable!

    Yeah, I'm not getting excited, just cheesed off that having got his assurance before ordering that it would be dispatched on Friday or Sunday now the goal posts are shifting.

    Aliexpress say that they hold the money until the postage tracking says it has been delivered, so it should be safe in that way at least.

    Just to say, this is a clone of another device..

    I posted about it in the Android forum a few days back.

    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056644312

    The stick has the Mali 400 GPU, so it has the same HD playback abilities as tablets like the Ainol Elf\Aurora, Onda, Hyundai etc.. No trouble with 1080P etc..

    Been looking at this on and off again for past few days....I see it can now be gotten from Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/OEM-SYSTEMS-COMPANY-MK802-Android/dp/B0086DVDCW for $70. It was this video from lilliputing that brought me to Amazon. They say this one has 1Gb Ram rather than 512Mb on the others I've seen on Aliexpress. What ye think. Have many of ye ordered yet and anyone got it yet?
    Looking to make a standalone web browser "Kiosk" with it? Should work right?
    Amazing to think you could do this with such a tiny piece of kit.

    That is not Amazon per se, it's just a seller. I wouldn't trust them just because they're on amazon.

    Here is the video from liliputing:

    And about trust.... I definately would trust it more than Aliexpress.

    I'd take that with a pinch of salt. The description is from amazon and not from the seller, so it could differ. Although I've read there is 1GB ram devices so you might get lucky. Your still ordering it from HK so will be probably waiting a month or so.

    I've ordered off ali from the same seller as Do-more, the seller initially emailed that he only has white, then twice more looking for more time because of delays, but I just left it as I wasn't pushed and Do-more's was shipped earlier. Mine was marked as shipped earlier today.

    Email he sent.
    Hi , J

    I asked factory , they said would deliver the goods next week , so please advise whether you can accept I send your order

    next week ?

    If you can accept it , pls extend 5 days ship date .

    If you think it cost too much time , pls cancel this order , i am very sorry to say this.

    I have nearly 50 order to wait for ship , but now , i have to say very sorry to all of you.

    Hope you can understand, i want to do business with you , also provide you best service ,

    but factory always delay(because of software problem) , I cant send you defected goods ,

    so i have to send you this E-mail .
    If you cancel this order, whether you can choose reason : buyer Ordered Wrong Product !

    If you cannot do that, i understand, i know , its my fault !

    Anyway thanks for your kind support!

    Waiting for your choice!

    Sorry to hear that lots of the orders have been delayed.

    If you do a search on aliexpress for "MK802" you will find a lot of sellers for these now including the 1Gb versions last time I looked there were some sellers claiming to have them in stock and showing a picture of a full box of them, not sure if those sellers are any more reliable than the one I ordered from.

    My tracking is showing that mine arrived in Stockholm airport yesterday, but as we have a bank holiday here tomorrow I doubt I will see it before Thursday or Friday.

    I would take that 7 to 10 days with a large lump of salt (not just a pinch).

    Good spot, but DX might ship in 7-10 days but it will take another 20 to get to Ireland :D

    Exactly. Tipically 4-6 weeks from dx but at least you will get it. Great company though, never had any trouble with them over the years. They were a great crowd for the DS cards :)
