Tronsmart Prometheus: $99 Spaceship-like Android Media Player Based on AML8726-M6

Most media players just look like a boring black or white box, but Tronsmart Prometheus proves it does not have to be that way, as this model comes in the shape of a spaceship. This box running Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean is based on AMLogic AML8726-M6 dual core Cortex A9 processor with 1GB RAM and 4GB Flash.

Normally I hang with the tiny android tv stick crowd, but this thing is really cool.
I’ve been looking for a set top box to replace my old ATV1 for XBMC. I ordered one of these hopefully it will arrive next week sometime.

About the claimed two internal USB ports – I see two unpopulated groups of 4 holes in the board photos – one at the front near the IR receiver and the other at the top right, in between a chip and mounting hole. They might be USB ports… or might not. Also, the Wifi board appears to have four pins – I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a USB device.
