Has  Merten Uniq ever been released as a final product or abandoned?

This is just a short FYI for those that missed this.

There is an awesome comparison between Raspberry Pi and MK802 on youtube [1], and MK802 is priced 40$ [2] right now, which is dirt cheap, and even better it is readily available, there is no waiting like for Raspberry Pi in most of the world.

Also there seams that new and more powerful mk808[3] are also available, but I'm not sure if it is also 100% linux compatible like mk802.

These small devices run android and linux so they would make excellent linuxmce

Awesome comparison of multiple wireless keyboards, look some of them have gyroscope and work over 100ft so could be used as replacement for dead Fiire remote.

Does anybody have some hands-on experience with these keyboards?

Thanks,... I'll take a crack at it...

Any updates?

Why not just use Raspberry Pi as CEC controller? It is much more powerfull device and even cheaper, not to mention that it can run media center itself...

Good news are worth repeating

Another reason why Raspberry Pi is best thing since sliced bread, now it has also CEC support via libCEC

This looks like great progress - http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Porting_Raspbian

@phenigma can you please share info on how you managed to compile and install lmce on Raspberry Pi ?

I can try, who do I need to contact and see if I got skills needed for the job.

Ah, I wasn't paying close attention. Wasn't Hari running lmce on some older Fedora for arm?

Ubiquiti has jumper in HA and sensoring market with their new mFi line of devices [1], there are very lively discussions on their forum, most of them are very positive but some are also negative [2].

From what I have seen they are using wifi to replace zigbee and zwave, and that could drive prices down quite a bit...
I'm not sure how open/closed these devices are, and if it is even possible to integrate them with LinuxMCE (or any other system) but if it is possible then this will make a great addition to LinuxMCE hardware playground.

Hari what do you think, do these devices bring anything interesting to LinuxMCE project?

Got my Raspberry Pi, it is an great small monster of a device...
Anybody got to install LinuxMCE on it?

Great! Please post an update to this thread when it becomes available, I hope to have my own RPi soon so I'll test it right away.

I would like to try 1004, which iso works 100% in virtualbox?
