Alright so with some research it seems the Geniatech ATV1200 and 1600 are in production and being Distributed to all the major online sellers but it seems these are also being renamed and rebranded little by little. So far ive found about 3 or 4 others with same specs all coming soon, but the big question is when. Ive emailed two companies trying to find information on a possible date when a consumer will be able to purchase one but so far nothing. Has anyone here found any information?
Im pretty sure everyone here is wanting a dual core box with 1gb of ram to be able to play there movies/Tv well and not have to deal with lag.

great, let us know ur experience on the box when it arrives.
Ill be making a video, only problem right now is i can't find if the box from oval elephant comes with a remote prepackaged or its an extra. He has some listed as options to buy but they are out of stock, but i should have one from somewhere by the delivery date it just might not be the one from oval elephant.

Would this box be a better option than The G-box Midnight?

Thanks

the ATV1200 is definitely better then the G-BOX.
Spec wize, the ATV1200 has a Dual-Core while the G-BOX is single-core...

Alright i was planning on having a review probably up today or tomorrow, but as it turns out. Ovalelephant.com is having some troubles. It says all the orders were delayed due to weather, and he hasnt given an updated ship date yet. Also no emails are being responded to right now, they are rumors going around about the store/site owner saying things have happened to him but im not going to jump to conclusions yet. So hopefully ill get a response and be able to tell you how soon you guys can expect a review.
Since he is in NC and not too far from the coast hopefully hes okay, he might still be out of power so hopefully hes okay.

EDIT: Ovalelephant has sent out an email, pretty much saying the manufactors lied on shipping date and they now have the 25th as their shipping date.

That minix neo looks really good. The first AVAILABLE product I've seen in a BOX FORM FACTOR (all others are those annoying sticks) with ETHERNET that has the dual core chip.

Question:
The ATV1200 and ATV1600 seems to indicate there is an internal slot for a mobile drive. But the description says, for both: "USB: Support 4 x external USB HOST and 1 x internal USB"

Am I correct in saying that NEITHER of these boxes support any sort of SATA connectivity?
