Question  RE: Android Hardware Post: #451
Hey guys,

I hope someone of Team-XBMC will read and answer this:

I know that XBMC on Android is still in developement and you don't recommend to make any purchases in anticipation of running XBMC on Android. I know I am a little bit impatient, but when can you make any recommendations relating hardware or at least name some precise points relating hardware? (Doesn't have to be an exact date. Just a point in time that me or anybody else can look forward too). Wink

june is a nice month I think

But thinking of it:

Will XBMC run propperly on existing boxes or better to wait for new ones?

I ask this because I read that a problem is the hardware acceleration.

Pivos XIOS DS is the box your looking for assuming you want something relatively stable, XBMC dev work for Pivos and the builds released are made for the XIOS and it's Android firmware. More importantly you get good tech support from Pivos, a lot of other boxes don't have anyone really backing them other than throwing them out there to sell.

@ Starstream: Thanks for the answers so far but:

1st: Pivos XIOS DS is more expensive than the ATV1200 in my country (the box i am looking for atm)
2nd: Pivos XIOS DS has less power than the ATV1200 (M3 vs M6/MX).

I know that Pivos XIOS DS is the developement target but if it would stay the developement target in future then Team-XBMC could say it but they don't and this behaviour makes me suspicious whether another (better) box will be the (next) developement target. Huh

@FIBO:

Any sources for that information? Wink

EDIT: I just want the most powerfull XBMC-Android-Box atm that just works.

That looks like just the ticket.. can't see amlogic mentioned anywhere though, so these could be rockchip?

Wel, this box is a rebranded Geniatech ATV1600. Concerning different sources it is a AML8726-MX.

Look at the start of the movie. Both boxes use the same SoC and it is a MX :-)

Hi,

I'm trying to find a store or site selling the atv1600...but up to now unsuccessfully...

I read this post and I would like to confirm if the iconbit Duos plus is really a rebranded atv1600 or atv1200...

Seeing an unboxing video on youtube, I couldn't see where the hdmi input port is... So I guess it is a 1200 one...
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gjj-DxJ6i30

Does any one know where could I buy the 1600 version?

I'm searching the geniatech hardware due to the optical 5.1 passthrough, dual core and hdmi input feature...

If I can't find the 1600 one, so I'll buy the 1200...

This link shows an unbox video of the ATV1200, it shows more clearly all the ports and the android box itself.
I hope it will be useful for you!

The ATV1600 has just been released, so there are only a few companies who ordered the ATV1600 for now. The aim is to sell the android box around the end of March. This is the only information I have so far on the atv1600.
