This is exactly what I'm hoping for. This looks like a kickass emulation device once it's jailbroken.
Exactly. The big issue is the fact that it doesn't technically do any processing on-device and simply does streaming. So if this ever gets jailbroken, it will need to involve more than just software since you'd need something with a reasonably fast CPU to run that software.
I'm excited to see this product fail!
Adding moonlight support for PC streaming would be cool. And for $100 I would buy this just for shits.
For the device to do anything near 1080p with as little latency as possible, the device MUST have a dedicated graphics chip, probably Mediatek or, hopefully, Snapdragon. Also hopefully, it might have some kind of on-board storage, at least for AndroidOS + updates, hopefully a MicroSD port for media sharing. With all of this in place, turning a stream-only device into a regular Android one is pretty much trivial.
I think you mean rooted. It's Android based.
"rooted" and "jailbreak" are exactly the same procedure: obtain root access to low level hardware. The only difference is Apple fans trying to be different.
I know they do the same thing, lol. But I've never heard someone say they're going to jailbreak their Android. It's just semantics.
They even mean the same thing technically! The “jail” specifically refers to a jailed shell, as BSD jail, so both jailbreaking and rooting (as in Unix root) both quite literally mean the same thing, privilege escalation.
