MC2 Post 1289 The Brave New World of Very Small STUFF



3.3" HDMI-dongle Android Pocket TV funded within 1 week on Kickstarter

From:  http://arstechnica.com




The Pocket TV comes with Android 4.0, 
a 1GHz ARM CPU, and 512MB of RAM





The Pocket TV has a 1GHz ARM Cortex A9 CPU, 512MB of RAM, and 4GB of internal storage. It has a male HDMI plug at one end, allowing it to be plugged directly into a television. It also comes with a built-in microSD slot, a USB 2.0 port, and WiFi. There are two remote controls available as accessories: a standard IR remote, and the more sophisticated Air Remote, which has a QWERTY thumb keyboard.
The final retail price for the Pocket TV will be $160, but users who back it on Kickstarter can get it for $110. Unlike some of the other products that we have seen in this space, Infinitec says that the Pocket TV will ship with Android 4 and the Google Play store. The company is marketing it as a mobile smart television platform that can handle 1080p video and casual games.
