Guest Mug UK Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 Saw the review of the UG802 which is above the forum and was hooked. A little Android PC sat in my 40" TV's HDMI socket - perfect! Then I did a few Googles for reviews and some of them weren't the most flattering but I did see that the MK808 was out already and was that little bit better and a bit less buggy than the UG802. There was a bit of a flamestorm on Hot Deals UK when someone pointed to a £30 release of the UG802 when it was £50 the week before (shifting dead stock due to MK808?). Total cost was £43 inc. free delivery. Just got to drum my fingers waiting for Lightake to deliver it. Keeping watch on wireless keyboards with built-in trackpads and, eventually, a decent joystick so I can play some of the games that my basic tablet can't handle.

Guest Mug UK Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 That's a useful start (rooting it) but I'm sure I read somewhere that certain ones are already rooted. Getting powered USB hub & keyboard via eBay UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mug UK Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 According to my tracking number it's currently somewhere - I don't know exactly because the website that shows me the tracking details is not loading .. probably being run off a broken Raspberry Pi! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest madadam Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Did Lightake ship with UK adaptor, or did you have to buy a UK-plug USB PSU elsewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mug UK Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Ordered one elsewhere. a) USA plug B) not enough oomph as it's only got 1A - needs 2A if you want to switch WiFi on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
