Motherboard's pictures ZERO Devices Z902 (new product available maybe next month):

1Gb Memory DDR3 - 4Gb Storage
CPU - Allwinner
OS - Android 4.0
I/O Ports: Micro USBX2; USB2.0X1; HDMIX1; MicroSDX1

MK802/ Z802 or other cheaper hdmi dongle have't ESD protection on HDMI.
It is only the free space on the PCBA for AXP209. The save some money or manufacturer dont care about it.

My advice is considered and not pull cable from the HDMI when is working.
You can fry quickly these toys.

• Added ESD
• Added power protect circle
• Soft turn on/off.
• HDMI connector pop out

What about things like Hulu. HBO Go, and crackle? Anyone try to load these? I'm looking for something that will hopefully be supported by the play store some day so I want have to side load... Or is that a pipe dream?

I have the 1Gb version of the MK802. I have problems with Wifi performance. Tested it on my Airport Extreme, airport express and a net gear wireless router. In al cases the signal strength is very good but the speed is way to slow. HBO GO or playing a movie works but after a short time it needs to buffer the stream. Not verry watchable.

Playing movies from the internal memory works fine, it's just the Wifi that sucks. I ordered a USB/ LAN adapter. Hopefully that makes it possible to stream movies frm my NAS and watch HBO GO.

Also it runs verry hot, so if the LAN adapter orks, I will modify it with a heat sink.

Is it possible to connect an external Harddrive (and read its content)?
If so, this external device can be powered by the "Android Zero Device" (f.e: 2.5" hard drive) or the hard drive should be powered by external alimentation (f.e: 3.5" Harddrive).

Thanks

Hey mate,

I had the same problem with my Sony Bravia TV, for some reason it doesn't get the signal in a proper formatting. I solved it by connecting the stick to my other TV (Samsung), where I adjusted the output resolution in Settings to 720p. After that, I reconnected to the Sony, and set the resolution there to 1080i. Now it works like a charm on both TV's... well, display-wise. For the rest, device is quite severely underpowered for most applications, although it plays media quite well trough Mx Player. I now use it with Miniand Lubuntu Linux (boots from a SDHC card) as a brain for my robotics and drone projects - in that role, it's a absolutely fantastic device!

There is a new version of Z802 in the market, it's called ZERO Devices Z802B.

Z802B is powered by RK3066 DUAL CORE and runs Android 4.1 Jelly Bean

50USD... I can guess the quality...

An important thing about China, after a company launchs a new and good products lots of small "factories" try to copy. But always always always the just think how to break the market with cheap prices (if not they will not sell), so just produce rubbish. Later, after their market is bigger, even can produce cheaper than before changing the materials quality (even worst than before is possible). Every part has A, B, C.. quality. Later if they have problems about warrany with customers just need to change the name of their company and cheat more people again...

I think now, after some years on this, I even can write a book about the chinese bad quality

Paul Midler beat you to it....
