MK888B or Radxa Rock? what should I buy?

[soso]

Hi, I'm new on this forum, but after intensive searches and comparison I don't know what should I order between:

MK888B / T-R42 which is basically MK888 with bluetooth from here AliExpress at 84$ or

Radxa Rock which is build by Tom Cubie, the creator of CubieBoard, with similar specs from MK888B:

SoC – Rockchip RK3188 ARM Cortex-A9 quad core @ 1.6Ghz + Mali-400 MP4 GPU
System Memory – 2GB DDR3 @ 800Mhz
Storage – 8GB Nand Flash + micro-SD SDXC up to 128GB
Video Output – HDMI 1.4 up to 1080p@60hz, and AV output
Connectivity:

• 10/100M Ethernet port
• WIFI 150Mbps 802.11b/g/n with antenna
• Bluetooth – Bluetooth 4.0

Audio I/O – Audio S/PDIF, headphone jack
USB – 2x USB 2.0 host port, micro USB OTG
Debugging – Serial Console
Misc – IR sensor, power key, recovery key, reset key, 3 LEDs, RTC
Expansions Header -80-pins including GPIO, I2C, SPI, Line in, USB 2.0, PWM, ADC, LCD, GPS… etc

Without the remote control and with a much simple case at 89$.


Both devices are new on the market and don't have a great user base, but their predecessors have (MK888 and CubieBoard)

So, my 89$ question is: which should I buy from this two devices Radxa or MK888?!?

Hi, in my opinion the radxa is only ready for pre order, not available at the moment. Also eventually no housing is there?

The MK888(B) and variants have many developers working on it. Last but not least it depends on what to want to do with this board (android, linux, kernel hacking). Eventually http://linux-rockchip.info/mw/index.php?title=Main_Page can help you a little bit.

Thanks for the answer. I just order the MK888B and i'll use it on Android for music, movies, games and browsing. If i have time I'll tinker with it.
