The Beelink devices have a strange shape and is about $15 cheaper than HPH RK3288.
The Beelink devices were released early to beta testers to help fix problems and the same boxes are sold to customers. They also have problems with the SD-Card slot. If you are looking for a cheap RK3288 than they are fine.

Nagrace, HPH released all the source code for the kernel, Android and have support for Ubuntu, so you are going to have better support. Their firmware is also a lot better than other manufacturers.

Ubuntu works great and fast.
Only video playback is still in the early stages, still being worked on by Rockchip.

Nagrace & Beelink are the 2 most popular RK3288 boxes at the moment.
It would be nice if someone can post benchmarks of Beelink 2/16GB AP6335 box, so other things like RAM, EMMC, Wifi performance can also be compared.

You ask for:

...
1. features/price
2. support from vendor
3. community support/ROM/develop
...

2. and 3. are answered by the action at the sub-forums including the continuous support by oman who is one of the developer at the pcb design-house/factory (netxeon)... I think you can't find a better support to the community...

Instead of mo123 I think the small cases at most of the rk3288 devices are an design failure because of the possible heat of the rk3288 http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.p...-Test-Scenario so the case have maybe a strange shape but a useful shape...
Also I think "Their firmware is also a lot better than other manufacturers" is a daring thesis about HPH by mo123 because they cocking all with the same soup (SDK)...
The next pcb version will be V3.0 with some fixes because of the beta testers (something HPH didn't do)...

Btw: I'm not sure Nagrace / HPH is the design-house/factory (but T-Chip AND they produce the Firefly development board)

This is the type of discussion I prefer: differents point of view to talk about

[simoneg76]

Cause you're very nice and experts...just further questions:
- is it possible to add a webcam to these devices ? to use skype, etc...
- is it possible to use my own android phone (ICS) as a remote controller ?

Because of web-cam you should have a look at

http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.php?16488-R89-Accessories-support(Camera-Remote-3G-dongle-USB-devices-SD-card-)

The 'RKRemoteControlGeneralCastV2.0.3.apk' should also work with the rk3288 devices

http://www.google.com/search?q=RKRemoteControlGeneralCastV2.0.3.apk

There also exist a 'RKRemoteControlV2.0.2.apk' ???

HPH Nagrace RK3288
Already had 5 firmware updated from the manufacturer, 2 custom ROM's and newly released Linux firmware.

with Nagrace RK3288 it gonna happen same thing like Eny box EKB311B RK3188 devices, there were no supports, no custom Roms and you had to do your own custom Roms.. Trust me! any company that want to sale need support the vendor with custom Roms and community support like for example, MINIX Neo X7 RK3188 and now are Beelink/Tronsmart RK3288...
