srle, i noticed your "bottom line" comments in the firt post on this thread.
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"
