Hello I have been using XBMC for a long time now however always wanted a standalone XBMC device. Now with android there appears to be more options out there however research shows nothing is perfect yet (mix of hardware and android beta). I want an out of the box device that is plug and play ready for most users but allows more advanced options for others.
Before XBMC for android, I was starting to develop a standalone Linux box but then when devices like the Raspberry pi and OUYA started showing up, I pulled back my research. After trying some of the stuff that is out there, I still have not found the perfect device. Either the device itself is slow and sluggish, or XBMC was an afterthought. Unlike some of the other devices, I want this to first and foremost be a XBMC device (with other features added as needed/requested).
What I would like to develop is a community driven, open source device that would run XBMC perfectly. I started researching suppliers and options to get prototypes built however before I go really far with this, I would like to get some feedback. I want to find out if there is a need/want for this device and what features everyone wants it to have. If this is something that overall the community would want, I will begin the next stages of getting prototypes and testers. I have developed a short survey that, if you have the time, would let me know what the community wants in the box.
I thank you for your time with this. I will be happy to answer any questions you all have. (If this is not the best location for this thread, I apologize and will move/delete thread as requested)
