FAVI Ships SmartStick: All-in-One Smart TV, Home Theater and PC
December 17, 2012
FAVI Entertainment recently announced it is shipping its plug-and-play SmartStick HDTV enhancer, which it claims is “your Smart TV, Home Theater and PC all rolled into one.”
“Like Roku’s Streaming Stick, it’s a media player that’s been squeezed into a dongle-sized form-factor, running Android 4.1 and packing apps like Netflix along with the Plex media server, a full Web browser and DNLA,” reports Engadget.
The SmartStick streams media through the television’s HDMI port and connects to additional devices wirelessly. “You can even add a $40 wireless keyboard to avoid the usual finger calisthenics,” notes the post.
According to the press release, the device offers apps such as Netflix, HBO Go, Epix, Pandora, Spotify, YouTube, Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter and others. The 4GB device is priced at $50, while an 8GB version costs $80.
“Included with the SmartStick is the Plex app where you can wirelessly deliver videos, documents, music, images, movies directly to your SmartStick enabled television making your TV a hub of entertainment — no subscription needed,” according to the release.
