Looks like it uses the same GPU (Mali 400) as the AllWinner A10 The Geniatech Enjoy TV series looks pretty good, particularly the ATV1000: http://geniatech.com/pa/atv1000.asp I can get an ATV1000 for ~AU$135 with: - 800MHz Cortex A9 (not sure if it's the dual-core AML8726-MX or the single core AML8726-M1) - A remote - 2x external USB - A nicer looking case (going by the photos) - No SATA connection - Better FOSS support (?) I can get a Mele A2000 for ~AU$100 with: - 1GHz Cortex A8 Allwinner A10 - No Remote - 3x External USB - A not so nice looking case - SATA - Worse FOSS support (?) Oh the agony :( Considering it will probably be turned into a disk-less Linux workstation in a couple of years, I'm leaning towards the ATV1000 (no need for SATA) Thoughts?
