Title: $70 MK802 Android 4.0 PC dissected – video
Post by: javajolt on May 29, 2012, 09:56:17 PM
A number of Chinese hardware makers are manufacturing tiny computers running Google Android 4.0. The PC-on-a-stick looks like a USB flash drive, but has a 1.5 GHz Allwinner A10 processor, and HDMI port for connecting a display and a USB port for connecting a mouse, keyboard, or other accessory.

We’ve seen the little computer sold for about $74 as the MK802 (http://www.aliexpress.com/product-fm/563764893-Freeshipping-MK802-Mini-PC-Mini-Android4-0-dongle-android-IPTV-google-tv-smart-android-box-allwinner-wholesalers.html) and the Zero Devices Z802 (http://www.asiapads.com/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=&products_id=2246). On a trip to the Linaro Connect conference in Hong Kong this week, Charbax at ARMDevices caught up with another company offering a computer based on the same design.
This version is just called the Android 4.0 Mini PC, and you can pre-order one from Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0086DVDCW/ref=as_li_ss_tl/?ie=UTF8&tag=bradlindsdigi-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0086DVDCW) for $70. It should ship on June 15th.
There are two interesting things about this model. First, it has 1GB of RAM, while most of the other versions I’ve seen have 512MB. Second, Charbax got to see what the PC looks like if you take the case off.
If you just want to see the Mini PC topless, you can skip to about 5:30 in the video below.
