For an HDMI Stick device to run Kodi, I'm still thinking that an Amazon Fire TV Stick would be a more rounded choice, as you can use Kodi for your personal media pleasures, coupled with Kodi Add-ons, as well as have the access to the native Fire TV apps for streaming (i.e. Netflix, Hulu, Prime, ESPN, etc). And the AFTV Stick is significantly cheaper.
I guess what I'm saying is for the price point of this HDMI Stick device, others already exist for much less money...
The AFTV Stick is a good streamer, especially if you want to watch AIV. That said, I will probably be ditching my for a Compute Stick when they come out. To me running a full desktop OS and a USB port puts this in a different league. Windows and Linux can both access all the same content, and more, than the FireTv Stick, but can be customized to access it many different ways. Having a USB port adds lots of options for interacting with that content.
