Shenzhen Geniatech decided that having the Android operating system run on a phone or a tablet does not make much sense, which is why they decided to release it on a tiny set top box that has an ARM processor running underneath the hood, calling it the Enjoy TV. Hopefully this particular set top box will be able to live up to its namesake, having already received FCC approval. The 800MHz ARM Cortex A9 processor inside will be accompanied by 512MB RAM, 1080p Full HD video support, an SD memory card slot, Bluetooth connectivity, an HDMI port as well as a couple of USB ports for your connection options. Expect Enjoy TV to deliver just about everything Android 2.2 Froyo does, except for making and receiving phone calls.
A QWERTY remote control will be included with each unit of Enjoy TV, sporting an integrated joystick to make it one interesting navigation experience. You will find yourself performing far less swipes this time around, relying more on a mouse-like cursor to manipulate the Android user interface. No idea if Enjoy TV will ever make its way to the US, but at least it has already received government approval.
