Pivos Xios Android Media Center $99.99 Amazon
The Pivos Xios [amazon.com] is on sale on Amazon for $99.99.
I paid $115 or so about a month ago and am very happy with mine. I just picked up a second for my bedroom TV.
The main advantage of this vs. any other Android stick or device is that this is one of only 2 devices that XBMC supports hardware acceleration. It just happens that Pivos apparently paid for the main developer which ported XBMC to Android. Oh yeah, and there is actually support and forums unlike the no-name Chinese sticks.
I will say that the remote that comes with it leaves much to be desired (no gyro, no keyboard, few keys), however that can probably be said for most others in this price range - so figure on spending an extra $20 or $30 for a decent Android remote/keyboard. In fact Pivos sells one with gyro as an upgrade.
