Intempo Evolve

Anyone know anything about these - sounds like a good deal (though Amazon list them at £80, not £200), I'm wondering if there are snags.

Didn't get a chance to connect it to the internet, but the initial couple of screens were clear and crisp.

(And now I've had a chance to test my TV with another HDMI device, it looks like that's where the prob;em was)

Sorry, didn't realise you'd replied. The Cyclone thing unfortunately doesn't support YouTube or iPlayer, which means I'll have to send it back.

Let me know how it goes with internet stuff.

Connected it last night - screen slightly blurry when looking at small print (maybe due to HDMI to SCART conversion - it had certainly looked crisper on the projection system at work).

Basically, an android tablet writ large, but with a touchpad (seemed odd at first holding the remote "sideways", and using a button to flip the pad between moving the pointer and scrolling the screen).

BBC iPlayer and so on "just worked" - I'm going to see if I can plug a"proper" keyboard into the USB port, because I'd not want to do any serious typing on the clicky-buttoned keyboard that slides out of the remote.

Youtube fine, flash animations fine, Android shop accessible (I didn't try any of the games, but they looked pretty enough).

I didn't check out displaying USB stick content or work through all the options from the homepage, but I have to say I'm pretty happy with it.

Thanks - now ordered!
