ouya production is at least six months away, you can get a pivos ds now. You choose.

I run a pivos box on my main HDTV. It has replaced all my atv2's which are only used for dev now.

Hi Davilla,
We currently have 2 active separate branches of XBMC for XIOS - one for linux, one for android.
Only XBMC application is important for me on this device.
Which branch has more intensive development/support for XIOS?
What would you recommend to install on XIOS to get most stable and performed XBMC for now and in the future?
Is it safe to copy userdata folder from ATV2 to XIOS xbmc without any changes?
Thanks

I'd be very surprised if there was anything that Ouya could do that XIOS DS couldn't when it comes to XBMC. I would even bet that XIOS DS would work better. Granted, XBMC for Android in general is still in development and the Ouya does not physically exist yet. I can't see the specs listed for Ouya making a significant difference.
As for Netflix, Hulu, Pandora, and Spotify, both boxes are 100% legit in their access to these services. Both boxes will simply be using the same version of these apps from the Google Play store.

Hi!
I have an HTC One X (NVidia Tegra 3 version) and it seems like I can run XBMC.on it, so I thought... If I buy the HTC media link HD would I be able to use XBMC to stream movies from my mobile to my TV? Would XBMC be able to stream videos from my Synology NAS to the TV? Also since XBMC can handle AirPlay, would I be able to stream movies from my iPad to XBMC in my phone and see it on my TV through the media link HD?
What do you think?

I think that you would need to wait for XBMC for Android to be further into development before anyone is able to answer such questions.
