Will it run Slingbox with decent results?

To answer a few of the questions, yes it will work with his camera sitting atop his monitor – we officially support the current batch of Logitech cams (c310, c525, etc) but most usb webcams will work, supporting skype, hangouts, etc. Yes, it will work with any USB/RF keyboard and mouse. Yes, flash is functional in the browser. Yes, the slingplayer tablet app works very well.

I pre-ordered this back before the holidays and was on back ordered forever. When I finally got it it sucked. So slow and cumbersome It includes a VERY basic RF remote that is terrible so I ordered the wireless keyboard. Also a piece of crap. Looses connection all the time and has a terrible operating range. Honestly a week later I went out and bought a roku. I really wanted Android powered smart TV but this “Smart” Stick was not smart at all.

I was wondering how this would work with the First person shooter games, i saw one device at ces that had the keypad and a game controller all in one, I have a regular HD tv and am going to get one of these things so I can have net android and a good enough controller to play all the games I bought.

Can I use it with Dualshock/Sixaxis controller? That would be really nice.

If not, hopefully you can install firefox or chrome with flash, and stream your slingbox through their flash enabled site. That’s how I do it with Linux.

That being said.. any RF adapted keyboard/mouse will work.

Try the app “droidmote” as a controller. It works great with your rooted phone / tablet

Can’t say I’m honestly interested in Ouya, Market access is a necessity. It doesn’t have to be the fastest, most powerful thing on the market but Ouya doesn’t get me excited, something like this does. It just needs a bit.. more.

There is a bluetooth model, the MK802 IIIS. It’s been out since the holidays.

Also, if you have a rooted phone or tablet you could use the :droid-mote” app, and Use your phone/tablet as the controller

Open source as much as being allowed free software licensing and publishing unlike all home video game consoles currently in the market.

Plus that competition, non-official, was for developing a game in 10 days. I’d like to see what you can do in less than 2 weeks my fellow pessimistic gamer.

Does it handle flash in the browser? Can you sideload flash? This could be nice to run videos from Hulu (for the non-plus subscribers) and network sites
