Guest Mug UK Posted September 30, 2012 Report 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 spences10 Posted October 1, 2012 Report Posted October 1, 2012 You got links for what you bought? I'm currently looking for something to just run Chrome on
Guest Mug UK Posted October 1, 2012 Report Posted October 1, 2012 http://lightake.com/detail.do/sku.MK808_Android_4.1_Dual_Core_1.6GHz_1GB_8GB_HDMI_1080P_WIFI_3D_Mini_PC___Black-58509 I've ordered from Lightake before, so trust them to deliver. They've emailed me to say it's been posted ... just got to wait now.
Guest dan_delaney Posted October 4, 2012 Report Posted October 4, 2012 How long are LightTake quoting you for delivery?
Guest Mug UK Posted October 4, 2012 Report Posted October 4, 2012 7 days is the usual time based on previous items ordered. Email is at home so can't give you exact info.
Guest nitrox1 Posted October 4, 2012 Report Posted October 4, 2012 ordered mine through eBay from China, express courier. USD$115 with mele f10 Wii style rechargeable remote keyboard, usb2LAN, and 4 way hub. should be here by 17th (fingers crossed) Did everyone know that someone has already rooted it too, but no custom roms.
Guest Mug UK Posted October 4, 2012 Report 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.
Guest Mug UK Posted October 4, 2012 Report 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! :)
Guest nitrox1 Posted October 4, 2012 Report Posted October 4, 2012 You seen here, quite interesting. http://www.armtvtech.com/armtvtechforum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=28
Guest Mug UK Posted October 9, 2012 Report Posted October 9, 2012 Turned up today. Looking forward to playing around with it tonight.
Guest madadam Posted October 15, 2012 Report Posted October 15, 2012 Did Lightake ship with UK adaptor, or did you have to buy a UK-plug USB PSU elsewhere?
Guest Mug UK Posted October 15, 2012 Report 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!

Guest omegamoon Posted October 18, 2012 Report Posted October 18, 2012 Mine must be in the same container I guess, because I just got an email it is shipped as well :)
