Conclusion
This AC Ryan Veolo Android media centre stands out from the competition thanks to the Android content Market. However the media interface could be better, and we can only hope it develops as time goes by with the addition of a video jukebox or an Android 4.0 upgrade. The four star rating is well justified, though, as the inclusion of Market a real bonus.
The Xroid A1 handles media files well but doesn’t really stand out from the previous generation and Android doesn’t really give significant added value here as far as we can see. Let’s hope that Dvico extends its reach as it's too limited as things stand.
