Android on a Stick HDMI USB

---

Has anyone had a chance to try out these new Android Micro/Mini computers yet?
First impressions?
Would you use as your main media centre now XBMC is Android compatible?

They are the size of a USB stick usually with integrated wifi, USB port and HDMI port as well as a micro SD expansion slot. Looks cool.

It looks nice but a x86 one would be better. I suggest you wait a little. Also I think this should be in android general :P

Yh I know what you're taking about , the USB drives are trending nowadays but I hardly can figure out a reason for them with 1.0 Ghz and 512 ddr2 ram which I believe is the maximum specifacion those USB form factor can go. They’re limited to arm instruction set , which means arm software and not x86

so nothing will work instead of android , however I have heard of Ubuntu ARM port.But I believe installing Ubuntu or any other Linux on that USB will be hard to implement

and I think after you install ubuntu you can customize it to make it more like XBMC

They come in much better flavours than those posted above. I like this one:

It is basically the Galaxy S3 board with extra peripherals, more than enough for a decent low-powered htpc imo. Runs ubuntu pretty well considering there are no open source Mali drivers.......yet

awesome

That's awesome, might have to pick one up. Especially with XBMC and VLC for android this would make an incredible media solution.

Still not a bad choice but I want a S4 with Adreno 320
