I just wonder if this devise might also have the ability to do some things for NSA as a side benefit?

Angry Birds goes big; customers get annoyed due to no good pointing device to use Android on a tv screen.

Ahh well, eventually these guys will figure out how to make it all work.

And gee, it’s only twice the price of the other Rockchip dongle-puters:

...or just put an video HDMI video connector on a smartphone. External video is already on Tablets, PCs, laptops, etc. so I don’t see the big draw for ‘turning your television into a PC’.

Maybe I’m missing something but IMO the next iteration of the PC is a high-powered smart phone that can dock with about any display and control devices available. Forget cloud computing (except for backups) just take it all with you.

I don’t give a sh!ite about “thin clients” and the tech jabber.

What can be done with it? My TV screen is not touch, so keyboard or point device is needed besides the dongle.

I have Roku 2XD and rave about it.

The cool thing is the competition will yield benefits, like cutting the cable bill.
