Hi all,
I'm looking around for nice compact multimedia center and I have a few questions lined up, I definitely want one with Android built in.
1 - What OS Android is most recommended and stable
2 - What version of XBMC is recommended? I'm looking for everything, all movies, shows, PPV, etc. I was told about "Special Edition XBMC". Is this the best out there and is there anything better?
3 - What do you look for in terms of hardware? HDMI is the big one. I believe that's all I'll need..I see some with optical, composite, component, are any of these really needed? I believe micro sd and usb is handy, do you guys look for anything else?
4 - Internals CPU - What CPUs are most recommended for a good solid stable box to work with XBMC. I'm looking at boxes with the below
Rockchip 3188 Quad-Core CPU
ARM Cortex A7 Dual Core
Rockchip 3066 Dual Core 1.6GHz
Allwinner A20 Dual-core ARMv7 Processor
Amlogic 8726-MX 1.5GHz dual core Cortex A9
4a) - Memory - How much memory is usually recommended? How about flash memory?
Maybe there's something I missed which someone can chime in on. I think I covered a lot
Thanks all!
Dan
