AMEX Digital unveils Android TV Media Player
I have to admit, at first I was confused about what this was, if it was a Chinese-made Google TV. While I’m not too familiar with the Chinese company, AMEX Digital, it seems they recently unveiled their newest product, the MP-G7, a media player powered by Android.
Specs-wise, the Slingbox-reminiscent MP-G7 runs an unspecified version of Android, sports a dual-core ARM processor, provides full HD video output via HDMI, supports USB peripherals like a keyboard and mouse, accommodates a 2.5-inch HDD, has WiFi, LAN, SD card support and plays back a bunch of different media formats.
One thing that I found interesting is that it can also run Android apps from its unofficial marketplace.
Although it’s unclear when it will hit the market, and a US Patent is pending, when available this Android TV media player will set you back about $200.
