There's so much on the market at de moment.

look for a quadcore CPU Witt also the Mali400 /450 (thuis is for the video importand)

and don't pay 150 dollars/euro's for it. I found ons for 60 dollar, free shipping in Hong kong, 1-3 days deliverytime
The same box Coast arround 130 on online websites.....

Those are xbmc out of the box, i prefer Android because i want tot use Skype as well. My primary htpc is a asus fusion computer with openelec (linux) nut i can nog use Skype. Thee is no Add on. Iets possible but i am not voor with the linux os.

Streaming wifi is no issue if your router is OK and a decent internet connection :-)

Don't buy the raspberry pi if you want android, it won't work

GPU means nothing in Android for XBMC. Video playback is handled by a VPU that is often unrelated to the GPU.

gbox works ok, would buy another, but I think I'd like to try a quadcore cpu. never really looked into raspberry.
