Vidon Android Box

[rbrookstone]

Looking for a android tv box. I just visited vidon website and found their new box looks very pretty (see below). How about vidon box? Does anyone know of it? Their site: http://www.vidon.me/



7.24 Update
They announced more details about this box:
OS is Android 4.4
Allwinner A31s ARM Cortex™-A7 Quad-core CPU
PowerVR™ SGX544MP2 Eight-Core GPU
1GB DDR3 RAM
8GB Flash
Black Immersion Gold Board Manufacturing Process
Support blu-ray 3D playback and blu-ray menu navigation

It is getting more attractive to me! What do you think?

Looks nice for sure, from the picture Allwinner A31s and SGX544MP2 GPU?

Is it using the same XBMC as https://github.com/vidonme/xbmc
Is that Gotham?

And 1gb RAM is a bit low :/

Seems..
The will announce a new box today

Lets.. See what kind of box, price and specs it will have..

It is weaker that rk3188. No NEON. More Power hungry...

It has NEON. Only tegra 2 doesn't have it

Av200 = allwinner a31 quadcore / 2gb ram
the new box = allwinner a31s (it seems, reading in forum)

i have a few a31s units..
pro:
great vived video and audio (far better then rk3188 , about the same as s802)(raw passthrough dolby/dts works)
cons:
almost zero rom developement/communty support and the cpu runs at 1ghz (1.2 max)
note:
the a31/s supports stagefright and neon, So xbmc v13/14 and spmc 12/13 are working

So, its abit of a niche product..my cs918s is one of my favorite tvboxes

note: if you wish to buy any allwinner tvbox, make sure it has a stockfirmware
-most come pre-rooted, and installing the wrong tools like 'busybox' can have disasterus result
-it has been stated unbrickable, but thats if you have a stock-fw

advice.. well, if you can buy it cheap.. and read the cons, why not

The box is looking nice! I don't it on http://www.vidon.me/products.htm

I guess it's not yet released?

[rbrookstone]

From their forum the hardware price is only $49, i can't believe it!

[mitchell4you]

Thats great.. cheap... and great marketing..

If it works out-of-the-box.. and gets goodreviews.. it will sell, like crazy!

I just ordered the new VidOn box from Geekbuying, looks like a descent unit. Does anyone have a custom ROM or Finless ROM for this unit as of yet?
