Their software is open source, that means if funding goes success and they release their software we could use any mini pc running ubuntu (or raspberry pi) as the dongle for tv.


Actually, the dongle (according to the pic) has an Allwinner A10 processor, which is the one that came on the first Android TV dongles that popped up more than a year ago.

Even though a bit old and single-core, it's more than enough to stream some H.264, and back then it was a quite awesome processor for 7$/ea approx. Now they will be even cheaper.


And I hope their software would eventually support Android , which is really awesome for cheap android phones without WiDi. Even if they dont officially support some one would eventually port it to Android devices. Which makes it out of box solution for any Android tv stick.
