moin moin,
Brian had a mk802 at Stammtisch Tuesday. We've talked about it a few
times.

I found claims that another device is much better.

Looks to me like dual-core and faster CPU is the advantage for the g-82.
Same amount of memory, still a card slot, same ports.
The spec listing there for the g-82 only lists 1080p, but it can do lower
resolution stuff as well?
What is 2160p? Is that going to 11?
Aside from the toy potential, what I really need is a simplified media
interface for an alzheimers patient. I need to be able to get over the air
broadcast. I would like to have a picture gallery and a movie archive ( I
can rip the person's DVDs elsewhere and just move the files ).
I absolutely need a simple, single remote that will do the right thing for
volume, channel changes, etc. completely transparently to the user. I
don't need big buttons, but I suppose they don't hurt.

That might have to do, but I'd like to also be able to use a couple of
menus.

That one looks like it should launch missiles :).
This one has promise.

If I can connect a cable modem, then that's a bonus. Video chat and remote
sysadm are the reasons for wanting an Internet connection.
Being able to load a normal distro isn't a requirement, but pretty close
to being a requirement.
ciao,
der.hans
