Media Centre Review: Dvico and TizzBird Running on Android

Android media centres are coming thick and fast. Today we've got a couple to review for you. What extra does Android bring on a media centre?



With the Xroid A1, Dvico has chosen to dip its toe into the market for media centres running on Android (version 2.2 here). The Google OS is accompanied by an applications market specially set up by Dvico for this machine. Here then is a product that seems to offer the necessary tools to bring together media centres with TVs and Android.

A new player in the world of media centres, TizzBird is aiming to make an impact alongside the Popcorn Hours, HDIs and Dvicos. Indeed, ex-Dvico executives (including the old CEO) are behind this new company. Their first product is the soberly named F30 that will nevertheless be an attention grabbing calling card: an Android 2.3 OS, automatic audio / video jukebox creation, 1 GHz processor and Gigabit network. Will it be able to take on the high flyers? Why not!
