I’ve just been informed that Android KitKat, version 4.4.2, is now available for Rockchip RK3188 powered mini PCs based on AP6210 Wi-Fi module. This is a beta version, but it’s known to work for MK908 II, CX-919, GM282, GK525, iMito QX2, and IPPLI Mars I2C HDMI TV dongles. Albeit MK908 is also based on AP6210 Wi-Fi module, it does not appear to work right now, and the “new” model of MK802 IV with AP6210 might work, but has not been tested. 
Devices based on AP6330 and other Wi-Fi modules, such as T428 mini PC, are not working with this firmware, and you’ll have to wait a few more days or weeks to get a compatible firmware.
Android 4.4 will bring new features that can be interesting with mini PCs such as printing support, screen recording, and overall better graphics and streaming performance. So with the recent release of AndrOpen Office, HDMI TV sticks get slowly bu surely, ever closer to full PC functionality with an office suite and printing support (if your printer is supported in Android).
You can download KitKat firmware for RK3188 / AP6210 mini PCs @ http://www.mediafire.com/?7t8bjt0g6606tf1. The downloaded file is 291MB, and needs the password www.geekbuying.com to be decompress.
You can follow the usual firmware upgrade instructions. Please note the firmware tool has been to updated to RKBatchTool v1.7.
