Android What mediaplayer should I buy

I have searched the web and found 3 media players that where in my top search results.

The Little Black Box
Jynxbox
Minix NEO X7

This 3 are most popular? Or is there another better/similar player that I should look at?

I want to use android if that is possible.

NO contest, if you want to use android then the Ouya $99
It blows the ones you mentioned out of the water.
Its a sponser of XBMC so will have lots of support and optimisations

Please where can I read more about Lenovo Q190. I searched google and found a coumter but not a mediaplayer.

And about Ouya. Is it out for sale now? I thought that it is much more a game console. So it is exactly like Minix, but better?

Doesn't the MINIX Neo x7 have better specs than the Ouya and would run XBMC better?

I wasn't aware of the MINIX Neo x7
quick search does indeed show that its hardware beats Ouya in I think every way

Rockchip RK3188 ARM Cortex-A9 quad-core processor
ARM Mali 400 quad-core graphics
Android 4.2 Jelly Bean
2GB RAM
16GB storage
SD card reader
802.11n dual-band WiFi
Bluetooth 4.0
HDMI
Ethernet
3 USB 2.0 ports
micro USB OTG port
Headphone, mic jacks
IR receiver + a remote control
External antenna

According to this website Ouya gets a score of 13782 for the Antutu benchmark
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digita...uya-review

according to this website
MINIX Neo x7 scores ~18,000 on the Antutu benchmark

Although on hardware specs the MINIX Neo x7 is the leader. But software optimisations can change things. RPi has rubbish specs but its optimised.

thanks Araneae I didn't know about the Minix, looks good. And I think its more expensive if you live in the US $140

Edit: is their full hardware accelration for the Rockchip on XBMC?

I think Rockchip fixed the 1080 issue they were having, but the situation has never been quite clear to me on that issue.
