Pics are the same: It is only $62.99 here

This kicks some Raspberry Pi butt!!! I hope to get one soon to make a small linux server. Anybody know what wireless chipset is used on this model?

Quote from ssudarshan75 : here's a review posted by deadhp1: linky [armtvtech.com]

Evidently, there's a very strong rumor that the MK808 is now being produced with BT built-in. In the link above, the reviewer (deadhp1) is organizing a group buy (150 units) to bring the price down to $55 for all interested being part of the group. There's information (not substantiated yet) that the Chinese factory which these unit are being sold may very well have already incorporated BT into the dongle. The option for turning on BT is already in the software settings for the current model eventhough BT is not yet built in. This would suggest that the MK808's are a stone's through away from having BT built in. Persoally, BT is the only thing holding me back as less dongle's sticking out of the stick is a cleaner look, plus it leaves room for one to hook up a HD via the usb port.

The final "gravy on top" would be having the kernal info released for this thing so the community could start kicking out optimized ROMs. The Chinese can usually glue together half way decent hardware units, but their software implementation and optimization is a joke compared to what the community can create.

Question - is it powered by the TV, or do you need to have it plugged n during operation?

All you need to do is register to the forum and then reply in the "MarketPlace" subforum thread regarding the group buy that you are interested.

Do these have the google play store on them?

Edit: Doh, should have scrolled down further, they do.
