Kimdecent has released the MK806 Android TV stick. This is a small PC that runs Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and has a Cortex-A9 dual core chipset, 1GB of DDR3 memory, 4GB of storage, and a microSD card slot for expandable storage. This also has Bluetooth 2.0, which is a new feature from its previous model (the MK802). You can connect this little PC to your TV or monitor via HDMI, and you can also connect a separate 3.5mm audio jack (for headphones or external speakers). Other new changes to this MK806 model are a microUSB port for charging the device, full-sized HDMI port (instead of mini HDMI port), a full sized USB 2.0 port (instead of a mini USB port).
I have the MK802 Android TV stick and really liked the ease and functionality of running Android on my TV, without the need for a set top box or PC. It’s like a little PC in your pocket! I’d like to try this model with Bluetooth and see if a game controller or pair of heaphones would work with it.
The MK806 Android TV/mini PC is available on AliExpress and DealExtreme ranging from $50 – $60. Let us know if you try one in the comments!

i think we must wait for ouya instead of buying this garbage.
this stick looks good only in specs, but not in real life.
Does this model come with Bluetooth? I went to their site and the specs page does not indicate BT for this model – http://www.kimdecent.com/minipc/94.html
Hmm, strange. The one sold on DealExtreme (http://dx.com/p/mk806-android-4-1-google-tv-player-w-wi-fi-bluetooth-hdmi-3-5mm-jack-1gb-ram-4gb-rom-189075) and this on AliExpress (http://www.aliexpress.com/item/MK806-Update-Version-Dual-Core-Google-TV-Box-Android-4-1-Mini-PC-RK3066-1-6Ghz/757651953.html) says it comes with bluetooth, but Kimdecent’s website does not. There appears to be quite a few revisions of this model…
Nop.
MK806 don’t have BT, you must choose: If you want BT you miss audio output and vice versa. The stick with BT is the MK808B.
