New to the forum, so be gentle, lol
I will give you my thoughts on what i have seen so far, i have applied links below but not sure if i am alowed.
I brought a "Sumvision Cyclone Nano Slim with AirMouse"
I then applied the "XIOS_DS-ICS-060412" firmware(link below)using the hidden switch under the box, to force the firmware.

Applied the xbmc-XIOS-073012.apk file (link below) please note when first started it does take a while to boot up so be patient, lol

So just to review.
I now have ICS / with xios firmware and XBMC app,and hardware acceleration on in setting's menu, and external hdd with music and videos
Now for the stability of the unit up and running (not using wi-fi but direct ethernet connection)
Running xbmc works fine, (even with the airmouse) loads up and all menus nice and quick, It finds my externall hdd and video's off the hdd play fine, i do find i have a bit of problem with lip sync.
So all in all xbmc works brill, i can download the skins(certain ones make it run slow tho) and add ons work fine
Now for the downside
I downloaded the add on "you tube", searches through videos very nice, but when you go to play them, i then get picture shudder / as if it is buffering, i know the box works fine, as if i use the you tube app on the android screen all the vids work brill.
Also i did apply the xbmc linux using the force update, and that worked sort of ok, but did not find my hdd, was nice tho as it booted strait into xbmc, maybe there is another linux xbmc version out there
?
Sorry the above is a bit long, but hope all the info helps, any questions i will try to answer within the setup i have.
Thanks
ps: also seen this one ebay, and this has 1gig of ram, but can't find any info on this, ie firmware or nothing
