There are plenty of Android TV Boxes or HDMI TV dongles based on Rockchip RK3066 or RK3188. What makes Giayee P105 computer different is that they completely got rid of the HDMI port and replaced it with a VGA port, and the mini PC, and they also added mount option to attach the device to a wall or the back of your monitor.

i never knew rockchip used POWERVR bu all i can say is i would go with the RK3188 couse there is already ubuntu running on it also i wonder how android would run on it and how much support would there be
As I know, rockchip 3168 use powervr, while 3066 and 3188 use mali GPU. the reasons is unknown. And i have a question, is the powervr is better than mali considering on the performance and linux support ?
@david

Seems that this company produces nothing except announcements.
That thing sells via Cloudsto (UK) for the equivalent of about $160 under the name Cloudsto EVO. Linux only – http://www.cloudsto.com/mk802iii-le-mini-linux-pc/cloudsto-evo-quad-core-linux-mini-pc-with-vga-output-8gb-flash-storage-detail.html
