oh no.... not a prometheus apk ....
i lost $100 buy getting a prometheus which never was stable and froze...
maybe the android on x86 project is something to look after.
as i see it now, the main problem is to have android running stable on those mini pc's with chinese SoC...

Prometheus..smh... What a piece of work that box is. Of course I bought one of those too thinking they were going in the right direction. I should have known better but ya know, it's all good and im not gonna get mad about it. I can understand the frustration but to me it's all hobby anyways. These chinese companies just come in, create a bunch of hype and sell thousands of their product and then disappear. Its the reason Im not buying any more stuff from China. My pile of unsupported hardware is big enough already. I feel good about this mx2 I got. Even though it has some bugs im confident firmware will at least be released. That's been the case in the past with them anyways (fingers crossed).

That was my passing mention of "app integration", which to be fair is possible now, but will be much cooler with some upcoming work (devs tell me that Android has some really awesome ways for apps to talk to each other, even control each other).
I do think the future is ARM, but just recently I've been pleasantly surprised with the price of devices that rival my main 2009 computer (at or under $100 if you wait for a good sale). Even then, there are still good reasons to go with ARM over x86, as you mention.
My main point in mentioning x86 in this thread was to dispel the conflict of interest accusations on TeamXBMC (growing number of ARM sponsors), since my own viewpoint is that x86 is still a competitor in the $100 and under market.

Agreed Ned. In fact I'm going to get a cheap x86 to toy with. Both platforms have their benefits. I think I've got ARM yellow-fever right now though lol.

Everyone that is posting binaries of XBMC is warned, you better include source code references and any source code changes or the eye of sauron will focus your way...
