[Q] Which should I order between MK888 and Radxa Rock? - Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers

After intensive searches and comparisons I don't know what should I order between:
MK888B / T-R42 which is basically MK888 with bluetooth from AliExpress at 89$ or
Radxa Rock which is build by Tom Cubie, the creator of CubieBoard, with similar specs from MK888B:
SoC – Rockchip RK3188 ARM Cortex-A9 quad core @ 1.6Ghz + Mali-400 MP4 GPU
System Memory – 2GB DDR3 @ 800Mhz
Storage – 8GB Nand Flash + micro-SD SDXC up to 128GB
Video Output – HDMI 1.4 up to [email protected], and AV output
Connectivity:
10/100M Ethernet port
WIFI 150Mbps 802.11b/g/n with antenna
Bluetooth – Bluetooth 4.0
Audio I/O – Audio S/PDIF, headphone jack
USB – 2x USB 2.0 host port, micro USB OTG
Debugging – Serial Console
Misc – IR sensor, power key, recovery key, reset key, 3 LEDs, RTC
Expansions Header -80-pins including GPIO, I2C, SPI, Line in, USB 2.0, PWM, ADC, LCD, GPS… etc
Without the remote control and with a much simple case at 89$.
Both devices are new on the market and don't have a great user base, but their predecessors have (MK888 and CubieBoard)
So, my 89$ question is: which should I buy from this two devices Radxa or MK888?!?

MK888B images

Comparing the pictures of two products, i think it's clear for you which to choose.
Btw, Radxa Rock is an open source project.

What bought?
What have you finally decided? why? are you happy with that?

I'm not hoping too much but there is allways a light right :]
well it's highly, highly unlikely but technically possible
android is, generally speaking, based on the arm architecture which is fundamentally different from intel(x86) processors
However, there have been some implementations of android for x86(eg. google tv)
check out http://groups.google.com/group/android-x86/browse_thread/thread/885ab5b2218911a4?pli=1
maybe there will be something useful there but don't expect too much
Thanks for reply and comments,
I mostly worrying about drivers.
Installation is not much problem but as you understand.
Drivers are problem,
This UMPC likes HTC shift's may be there is a way to do.
anyway,
Thanks.

Real Analog RGB output on PDA and fully configurable resolutions (pictures inside)

Hello,
These days I have managed to add real analog video output to my Asus P750. My goal is to connect the pda to my car's navi screen. It has 400x234 res. (NTSC timings).
HARDWARE PART:
I desolder the small LCD FFC connector located on the pda board, and solder ultra fine cable leads to the small pads:

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then, I solder this leads to a PCB I have designed months ago with ADV7125 DAC, to make some test before design the final PCB:
This is my car navi screen, it receives analog RGB input:
SOFTWARE PART:
I have built some Windows CE images for PXA270 development platforms, and I have one LCD DLL driver, from Toradex, that is able to make configurable all timings parameters through registry:
http://wiki.toradex.com/index.php/Display_driver_registry_settings
The user of this forum, pupakota (thanks again), helped me. He took the file, and insert it into the Windos mobile 6.1 ROM using something called "kitchen".
Then, I flashed my Asus with the modified rom, leave it to start, and connect to my pc using activesync. With RegEditor, I added the correct config into registry, and new DLL took this config after reset, result? Windows mobile 6.1 400x234 15.7khz 60hz:
(Colors are bad, clock valid edge stuff ... nothing important yet)
BUT, after 10 seconds of the start, it suddenly changes resoluntions and timings to 20.4khz hsync 79Hz vsync:
Please, need software help, what is happening here?? why the SO is "swaping" to another timings 10 seconds after the boot?
Thanks!!!
allright, pm sent, testrom soon. imho, cpu driver's getting into way(it may change lcd timings;/).
check cpu settings on all possible modes(avoid auto).
shame i cannot be there, i think i could help much faster then..

These cars normally only have room for a 1-din head unit, and it's placed below the climate controls, meaning a flip-up screen would block access to those, so this is a very welcome sight. If anyone happens to know more about this unit, please share.
Anyone ever find more about this?
