welcome to my unboxing of the Android IC 4.0 Smart TV I guess is what it's called
0:14
that powered by oh powered by Android
0:17
look how hard that is to read if you try and read it upside down coo to
0:24
cud okay online video streaming internet
0:27
browsing multimedia playback games DLNA applications all running off a tiny
0:32
little stick so it's got an ARM cortex 1 GHz processor using a Mali 400 GPU 512
0:38
Megs of memory ICS 4.0 4 gigs of Nan on
0:42
board with 8 gigs optional apparently okay micro SD expansion up to 32 gigs so
0:46
up to 1920 by 1080P and basically all there is to it
0:53
there's the configurations there's apparently different colors which seems
0:56
unnecessary but this one's white all the is to it is this little
1:01
stick that plugs in via HDMI you've got uh micro
1:07
SD you've got uh Power okay so that
1:11
powers it apparently by USB you've got a USB port which is Handy and then another
1:16
USB port okay lots of USB going on here so
1:21
this will have to be powered somehow
1:24
which will presumably be somehow okay if
1:27
there's no oh this is handy so HDMI extension cable so if there doesn't
1:32
happen to be uh an HDMI port that is
1:35
accessible like you know with a huge honking stick coming out of it then you
1:40
could just go like this and sort of like put it in the back of your TV like
1:45
that so it's not a perfect experience by any means but it is running Android 4.0
1:51
and that means that with this that little dongle plugged into the TV over
1:55
there so it's plugged in by HDMI and then I found a random USB port on the TV
2:00
that evidently Works to to provide Power
2:03
we are running Angry Birds we have a full Android OS going all we had to do
2:07
was plug in a USB mouse in order to uh
