Hi All, 

Anybody heard about/ got one / seen a decent review of one of these?

http://kiiwiii.co.nz/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=50 

The premise is an interesting one. Basically it turns your TV into an Android phone, but without the phone if you know what I mean. 

According to the product information it has a full Chrome browser and access to the Android Market so any app you can use on your phone you can use on this thing.

It is compatible with a wireless keyboard and USB storage, not sure how it would work with networked storage however.

Also it does not appear to support HD playback.

Still at NZ$200 it seems to tick a lot of boxes.

Anyway even finding an NZ review is proving difficult so any information welcome.  




Didn't anybody tell you I was a hacker?

Not hard if you search on Geekzone only. Old discussion here. User was banned because of astroturfing - two people posting about the product, when both were involved with it.
