It comes with: HDMI cable USB cable AC adapter English Manual
It also includes some bonus items: 4-port usb hub usb 3d sound adapter
This is a very good price for the MK802. Even better when you consider the extras.
Do some research and you'll see that there is a very big community based around the MK802. I'm buying one to have around as an extra dual booting android/linux box. (I already own 1 mk802, several UG802, and 1 MK808.)

UG802 and or MK808?
It really depends on if you need the dual core power or not. I have both the MK808 and UG802. They are fast, but both have issues that still need to be addressed by the manufacturers. It's too bad the kernel source isn't released on them, if it was we could fix the issues ourselves instead of waiting.
The mk802 has kernel source. It also has a linux port and an active linux community. There is an linux xbmc port in progress. https://github.com/empatzero/xbmca10
So for $39.99 the mk802 makes a good stocking stuffer or a tiny Netflix machine you can carry with you.

so probably not worth the extra 20-25 dollars for dual core?
Could someone clarify what these things do? Is this an alternative to hooking up a laptop to your tv to watch shows through your tv that are available on abc.com, etc, but no available on Roku, etc.? Or does this thing require you to go through Hulu, or Amazon or something to watch shows?
If this is an alternative to a laptop, what kind of browser does it have? Assume it requires a mouse and keyboard, is that correct? Can it be turned on and off with a regular remote? Does it have instant on instead of a long boot up? On/off via remote and boot up time are the biggest barriers to using an old laptop to access this stuff on the tv. If this solved those two problems it would be a great device.

Do these have hardware acceleration? (Particularly Neon) because they'd make a great XBMC box.

Gasaver, I would also like to know what these things do. Can you surf the web through your TV? If I have ethernet already hooked up to my plasma, does this thing pick up the internet through that, or does it pick up a wireless signal from my router? Sounds interesting, maybe someone could enlighten us, a little.
It's a shame that deal is dead. I can't seem to find it for that price anywhere. If I had seen that I would of bought 2. You should of posted up the deal!
Well still the $39.99 is the lowest price I have seen going on right now.
The a10 has neon, and a pretty decent VPU. It runs android 4.0 and you can use the stock browser or install an aftermarket browser from the Play Store. It connects to the wireless from your router. I wouldn't say that this is a laptop replacement, it's more of a replacement to hooking your phone up to the TV to watch videos. It can run Adobe flash so many video sites will work on it. Search youtube for mk802 and you'll see what this is capable of.

This is essentially a pc on a stick. Your TV with HDMI port act as a monitor.
Here is a link that describe a non plus model which should have similar features.
I bought one and paid almost 2 times this price..good easy way to just surf the web through your hdmi port on your TV 1080p - I just use my mouse too surf and it brings up a keyboard for slow typing.. like on an android phone..there are alot of videos on utube about these.. we might start see this feature on tv's built in -- 2 yrs from now,,
( note I bought the USB hub seen in the photo from Meritline and out of the 3 I got @89 cents each only 1 worked. Was not USB 2.0 according too Windows 7 on my laptop)
We wish ours came with the USB 3D sound deivce ? if you use it on a projector u have no sound...@ Least with a W7000 u don't... the model I have does do HD and there was some program on the device that had captioned movie link avail.. most unknow movies..
They carry the model I use =Item code: 306542 - $54 on eBay..last month..
The newer ones also support Adobe flash. However keep in mind Adobe is pulling flash support from android. You can still download the latest version from the Adobe website if needed. I was just pointing out that it does in fact support Adobe flash.

Not sure if anyone successfully ordered from the site. I just tried to place an order and when I got to the paypal page, it will not accept any type of payment (Paypal, credit card, etc...) After I put in my paypal or creditcard info, it keep bouncing back to the homepage stating that I was not charged...
I changed my passwords quickly... hopefully this is legit.

Thanks for the confirmation. Not that I don't believe the other member as both the OP and the other confirmation is from a new member.
I was getting the below message. I'd try paypal from checking, 2 different credit card, etc....

My kids were laying on the couch watching a tv show on their phone. When I asked why they didn't watch tv on the tv they said it was an app. With this they can use that same app but watch it on a 42 inch instead of a 4.2 inch.

Heres an upcoming similar item available for preorder.
This item is not uncommon and can be found via a number of Chinese distributors/wholesalers/drop-shippers. Please do not be decived by the graphic which says 'Google TV Player'. This is a common deception for these devices. While it is neat that it is an android device on a USB stick (there are more well developed ones by more reputable OEMs), the price is not exceptional and it is not a 'Google TV' player. The vendors play on the confusion that Android is owned/licensed by Google, it is conceivable to load an android app on the device which will play video.
The one for $45 is not the mk802+ model. Its the MK802.

I understand the convenience for wifi... But I wish for an Ethernet port one.
Do they make any android sticks with Ethernet?

superking said: I have been slightly under-whelmed with it. It is neat, compact and portable. Has some uses. However, it is slow and does suffer from freezes and random lockups. On a plus side, the video playback has been great. For the price it is fun to play with. I will be interested in watching future generations of these devices and what they can do. Comfortable at $40 ish for this thing, more than that I might have been disappointed.
Since they all use the same GPU, would love to know whether they have problem with 1080P movies or not?
