These android hdmi sticks look very appealing. There are a few caveats to be wary of, though. Most of them seem to have 512MB of RAM. 1GB would make upgrading to new versions of android much less of a problem. This brings up the next problem, which of these sticks will be upgradeable? The makers have no track record. So, get one that is popular internationally and comes rooted (“jailbroken” for iPhone fans), and you’ll have the best chance of the hacking community making the upgrade possible — and offering other enhancements.

Also. Google Play. Some cheap android devices do not include access to the Google Play app store. You will want this for other media playing and streaming apps, etc.

Bluetooth. Some don’t have bluetooth.

And processor type. A5, A8, A10? Single-core or dual? It is hard to compare them all now, and I haven’t found a good site that is reviewing the devices and keeping current on what is available.

Even the name is a problem. What are they to be called? Android hdmi sticks?
