Sounds interesting! But then i guess this is not the first of its kind. I remember reading something of a similar kind in Digit. So i m sure it must have been posted here......Android 4.0 Mini PC MK802 Review | Mini PC Reviews

there are tons of android based set top boxes available internationally.

but this is probably the first one that has been officially launched in india.

we have set top boxes already on sale. companies like wd and Netgear makes them.

but they are usually based on custom operating system and comes loaded with apps for youtube etc.

some even have a web browser. android just provides a much better software alternative though hardware requirements are enhanced.

amkette sells a media player for pretty low prices here in india. 2075 rupees on this deal for example Buy Amkette Computer Flash TV Adopter at low price in India: Junglee.com

Saw the video. It supports wireless keyboard.

No information about version of android and RAM.

Runs on 2.3 android and has 1GB RAM. Not bad.

u would not be able to run chrome on it what a shame pocket tv requires your tv to have a HDMI port.

The unboxing/review video says they are planning to upgrade to future versions, but not sure if can depend on that. Unless you are in hurry to get a smart tv or get the functionality of one, may not be a bad idea to wait a few months to see any further new launches or products with even more & better features.

if it is really v2.3 then it looks like a waste of money. Razorbee is made by an INdian company and has been around for quite some time + it's available for a lot less. Seventymm.com - Buy Connect your TV into smart internet - Media Players - Electronics is selling it for Rs.1649/- and they also bargain when you don't complete the purchase process ;-) - I was offered the box for about Rs.1450/- about 2 weeks ago.
