Internet is taking off in a big way here in China, and as with every popular form of the electronics have jumped head first in to bringing cheap Google boxes to the masses.
Like Rockchip with their Apple TV like device with Wiimote, Flexiview the makers of this Google TV box have basically lent the components from their Android tablet line and packaged it all in a more living room friendly design.
The FV-1 model shown here get’s a Samsung PV210 1Ghz CPU and 512Mb RAM making it more than up to the job of streaming video from the web, playing media from USB, light gaming and thanks to Android 2.2 Adobe Flash content.
The small black plastic looks a little like an smaller more oblong previous generation Mac Mini in black and measures 170 x 111 x 30mm, weight is a feathery 260g.
The rear of the FV-1 Android get’s a single which can be used for playing video, music or viewing documents from a thumb drive, a out, Ethernet and power connector.
As this is basically an Android only without the screen, a remote control is included in the which allows for easy navigation through menus and allow for controlling games in a Nintendo Wii style.
Although the remote is nice you would probably want to invest in a wireless keyboard and mouse if you planned on doing a lot of web browsing.
The price is 600 Yuan ($107) which is more than the new Apple TV but if you are an Android fan this little Flexiview Android TV box might be a great entry to the world of Google TV.
