Engadget just posted about a new HDMI dongle being developed by Always Innovating. This little peripheral is the size of a USB thumb drive and contains all the Oomph needed to run a full Android OS, 3D games and decode 1080p video. It uses a radio frequency remote and has bluetooth and wifi all within that tiny space. It uses a USB cable for getting power since most HDTV accept USB drives for photos etc. The cable is rather short but usb extension cables and usb to AC adapters are very cheap. The dongle is expected to retail for $79 dollars and I must say it has my attention. Its small enough to be unseen and left connected to your HDTV at all times. I would buy one of these for every HDMI capable display in my home and keep one with me for travel. Google TV ain’t dead yet.
