Android and Marvell to Join Forces inside the Nixeus Fusion XS Media Streamer

Android's has currently hit the set leading box planet with all the Google Television, but that is not genuine Android. This can be, packing Android two.two. Or, no less than, it is going to be when it ships sometime toward the middle of the year. It is the Nixeus Fusion XS, a Marvell 88DE3010-powered media streamer with 2GB of flash memory and 512MB of RAM, and regrettably a bit processor fan that hopefully does not make an excessive amount of noise. That is the identical Armada processor that drives the OnLive MicroConsole and hopefully it'll give adequate oomph for FroYo to serve up HD video content material, like BD-ISO assistance and what ever else the small, ebony factor can pull down more than USB or Ethernet, spitting it back more than composite and optical audio output or on one particular string of HDMI. It is hunting rather much less effective than the similarly Android-powered Xtreamer PVR, but its anticipated expense of $170 need to be a great bit lower. Oh, and we cannot wait to determine what the hackers do with it either.
