Have these changed now since the performance of the box has improved since then?
Just wondered because it seems a bit harsh in the new context of xbmc working a lot better recently.
"The bottom line:
- Android is not Linux - Linux is way, way better
- If You want XBMC, and price is not an issue, buy a box that works with Linux builds
- If You want XBMC, and price is an issue - go with the somewhat slower but much cheaper Raspberry Pi
- If You want this box and no other - well read this tutorial
- If the optical/coax audio out does not get fixed in future builds then there is hardly any reason to go with this, and not with some cheaper box with analog audio out"

What about the 100-post thread on xbmc.org with detailed discussions and instructions on getting xbmc to work? :D the odroid doesnt have that.
Does it have regular and recent firmware releases and xbmc.apk's released specifically for it?
Does it have a number of xbm users saying thy have xbmc working flawlessly on it?
And does it have a uk-based supplier?
does the odroid-u2 have all that huh? huh? :-)
(Ps im just annoyed because i was ready to place my order for the ATV1200 and now you have me confused :D )

It's an Exynos4412 Prime Cortex-A9 Quad-core processor CPU that can be overclocked up to 2Ghz and has 2 GB of RAM. And the price? $90 USD. They ship worldwide.

- aspect ratio (same problem as pivos-xbmc)
- video-addons problem - > doesn´t work (working in pivos-xbmc)
Quote:UPDATE (18.01.2013): Latest firmware -20130115, and latest Pivos apk -010813 work perfectly together. I can recommend the box to anyone now - the only thing missing is NFS support for the kernel.
