The Allwinner A10 is already quite out of date compared to the competition. Not impressive enough compared to the ~$60 MK808:

Android 4.1 Jell Bean OS, Google Play Store pre-installed;
1.2Ghz Rockchip RK3066 Dual Core A9 CPU, Quad core Mali-400 GPU;
1GB RAM /8GB storage;
Built in dual wifi antenna in this android device，which makes it more faster than other android tv boxes;
Support external SD card capacity:1GB-16GB ; Hard Disk: 1GB ~ 5TB;
Muliti-language supported
