"USB" HDMI Stick PC's

I'm finding these USB sticks to be interesting at least for running XBMC. I already purchased a Raspberry PI but can't say I've been happy with the product.

These look like cool toys. If only the 2.4Ghz spectrum in my house was reliable. Only 5Ghz works reliable in my house so I'd love one of these that worked on the 5Ghz spectrum

These USB sticks have intrigued me so I've decided to jump in and order one. I went with the Probox2 (http://probox2.com/) which I think really the same as the Uhost 2 but with a air remote. A lot of the current crop of "android sticks" are using the same Rockchip processor so what differentiates them are the firmware, casing/heat management, number of usb ports, bluetooth capability and included accessories. I have a roku, but I'm interested in how I can use this to turn one of my older TVs into a "smart" TV. My kids would love playing angry birds on it. As they progress I can see getting one of these and an HDMI monitor as a PC in my house for simple consumption activities like web browsing and streaming video. Probably will be a while before I receive it, but I'll let any of you know how it goes if you're interested.

For one to try it was tough choice between this one and another one that included an IR remote like the Minix Neo G4. In the end the air mouse capability won out over the ability to use my universal remote with it. Plus the firmware seemed to have a few more polishes, and the device supports bluetooth. I might add a bluetooth gamepad and resurrect my emulators and ROMS from back when I actually used to play video games.

I am looking for a nano for the car, to power lipstick USB dashcams, one out the front and one out the back. But dashcams these days are 1080p/30fps and that would probably need a dedicated encoder of some sort.

Also nice would be bluetooth so I could check video on my phone with ZoneMinder or someut.

Just haven't had time to really search, what with job-hunting and all.

I'll bet no one's seen this. Or this.

Any feedback? I'm looking for a winter project and have decided I want to get one of these android sticks with the main goal to be a plex client or run XBMC.

I just got it. I haven't done much with it yet. I've streamed videos off my DLNA servers to MX player without much of an issue except that it doesn't seem to support DTS or DD passthrough via HDMI. Might be a limitation with MX player, haven't had time to play much. Had problems with a few of the free racing games not working yet. Other than that, it has been as expected. The picture is clean and clear and wireless seems stable. It comes rooted and I've installed droidmote and this is easy to control via my galaxy nexus and the air remote works nice with Angry birds . I haven't installed XBMC on it yet.

bac522 check the CottonCandy. Seems similar but Nordic.
