Its nice to see the manufacturer try and fix the problems that are present with UG802.

2 x Wifi antennas... hope that does the trick. A real mini wifi antena would have provided a better signal.
2 x cooling plates... heat was not a problem with the UG802, but a nice improvement non the less.
CPU is clocked at 1.6Ghz.... that screen shot shows the cpu max is 1272 mhz. ???
Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean)... Firmware updated, very good news.
Whats missing.... Built-in on chip bluetooth. They missed the boat on that feature... maybe a future build will add it.

Thanks for the info

1. I have the ATV100 with external antenna and i do not get better signal then the built-in on Uhost, so it will be interesting to test the MK808.
2. IF the promised 1.6Ghz is real then the extra cooling plates can come handy, my UG802 get a bit hot after some usage.
3. I agree BT should be standard on these, but remember it would make the device cost 10-20USD more and ppl hate paying more
At least they should make BT dongle support so you could be optional, i have to test a dongle now.

BTW, im able to get samples for the manufacturer for 65USD, is anyone interested? There will be some additional shipping and paying cost.
