I used to play around with the Rockchip RK2918 Android TV Box, named G-Box, which I posted a review on this board earlier.
http://androidforums.com/google-tv/...-gingerbread-really-plays-outputs-fullhd.html
It was a good and fast box, but with two main issues: too small fonts/icons for TV, and audio sync issue (a bit of issue). So I decided to sell it.
As I've not seen anyone really review Android TV Box equipped with Telechip 8902, so I decided to buy a no-name box from China at rather cheap price ($77, china post to Bangkok, Thailand). It took 16 days before it arrived at my house.
I know that Telechip CPU performance, according to its specification, seems poorer than other CPUs in the market now, but whether it can at least serves my purposes; and so far it is.
Brief spec:
Telechip TCC8902 720Mhz with builtin 2D/3D
RAM: 512MB
ROM: 2GB
With or without Wifi (I choose to order a builtin Wifi)
Android 2.3
Official Android Market (quite a new version)
Ports:
Front: IR receiver
Back: DC-in, HDMI, LAN (RJ-45), AV out (accept 3.5mm input jack)
Left side: 2xusb, sdcard slot
Accessories: hdmi cable, AV cable (3.5mm jack-to-yellow, red, white RCA jack), AC adapter (5v, 2A), and small remote control
This is my only one night of experience playing with the box. I'll keep on updating my feedback.
My overall first impression:
0. it is a tiny box! I wondered it is as small as Apple TV, very light
1. the IR remote operating angle is surprisingly good and responsive (no mouse control, just jump to next command with four directional keys (my distance from TV is 2.5m). Press the power button on remote will put the box into the standby mode; push it again to wake it up.
2. the text and icon displays are very clear and big, very suitable for viewing on TV. This is what I
