Big deal here to watch out for is what is the possibility of flashing new roms to it.
We use one here at the office called a smartstick for displaying our HUD. The HUD was originally driven from a PC in a closet with some really long cables. Then we moved to a raspberry pie, and now the android stick. The stick can occasionally fail and lock up. The browsers we can run sometimes don't render well. BTW, what looks like USB is really the HDMI port. I plugs right into the TV. The USB port is for power, and usually uses a wall wart. ----- Original Message ----- > I was reading over the morning ads and came across an interesting > device that I had never seen before.
