Ever improving firmware offers improved speed and compatibility, Tiny system, Low power, Ice Cream Sandwich operating system allows lots of uses, XBMC version for 10' users, as well as Linux XBMC version
Sluggish user interface, Still working out some bugs, XBMC version is very new, immature, Need to use both remote controls, Motion sensor remote control not included in box
At the end of this review, we find ourselves conflicted when reviewing a device such as the Pivos XIOS DS. As a media player standalone, the out of box experience leaves much to be desired, and is far from user friendly requiring apps and mouse cursor to...

The XIOS DS Media Play is a $100 device that brings a lot of extra function to your plain-jane TV. It adds a full Google Play store library to your TV and works with the included IR remote, a RF motion-sensitive remote and an Android App for your phone or...
Small form Factor, Android OS, Dedicated XBMC development, Low cost, Lots of connectivity options, Two different firmwares available
Included remote could use a hardware revision, No Bluetooth, No alternative audio output, Requires a minimum of tweaking to reach expected performance
When I received the unit I was impressed by the packaging and the overall build quality and finish. The XIOS DS Media Play looks sleek and has a very small footprint but packs some interesting features. The Android OS will bring new life to your TV and th...

Extremely flexible Android device. XBMC offers lots of options. Multiple USB and microSDHC slots
Terrible wireless network performance. Too prone to crashes. Ordinary remote control
The XIOS DS Media Play mimics the visual appeal of the Apple TV tied into the excellence of XBMC, but the end result is anything but satisfying....

The XIOS DS Play! promises a lot; a relatively open and flexible media player in a quirky looking box that's bound to annoy your Apple loving friends.That's fine as far as it goes, and it's feasible that XIOS DS Play! may do some serious work with future...
Steuerung über Maus, Tastatur und CEC möglich, mehr Gestaltungsfreiheiten als bei herkömmlichen MediaPlayern, Nutzung von Apps aus dem Google Play Store möglich, Spielt viele Formate ab, Negativ, nur ausreichende Performance keine Unterstützung für 3TByte
nur ausreichende Performance keine Unterstützung für 3TByteFestplatten, Probleme bei HDWiedergabe, allgemeine Steuerung nicht intuitiv
Die technischen Daten des Pivos XIOS DS Media Play klingen gut. Ein Media-Player, der (abgesehen von ISOs) sehr viele Formate unterstützt, wenig Strom verbraucht und dazu noch auf Android basiert, was die Installation unzähliger Apps erlaubt. Doch in de...
Abstract: Oggigiorno è davvero impossibile contare tutti i dispositivi Android reperibili sul mercato; tra smartphone e tablet ce ne sono a migliaia e negli ultimi tempi, soprattutto da quando processori e GPU “mini” hanno fatto il grande passo e possono riprodurre...
Design esterno semplice ed elegante, Case in materiale plastico robusto di ottima qualità, Ottimo layout interno e qualità costruttiva, Ottima qualità dei componenti impiegati, Elevato numero di funzioni a disposizione, Multimedialità a 360°, Connettività
Sporadici rallentamenti nel passaggio da un'applicazione ad un'altra, ma nulla che comprometta l'utilizzo del dispositivo, Si ringrazia per il sample XIOS DS Media Play, Edoardo Giampietro - Slime - Admin di HW Legend
Nel tempo che stiamo vivendo la parola che maggiormente riecheggia è "Multimedialità" ed in nome di questa tecnologia digitale il mercato è stato ed è letteralmente invaso dalle più disparate tipologie di dispositivi. Il Pivos XIOS DS Media Play si inseri...
Bardzo rozbudowane możliwości multimedialne (aplikacje, Google Market, VOD), Wysoka wydajność i szybkość działania, Wygodny i stylowy pilot, Wysoka jakość wykonania, Atrakcyjny wygląd, Bezproblemowe odtwarzanie wielu formatów audio i video (w tym 1080p Fu
Tylko jedna wersja kolorystyczna (z motywem Androida), Dość długi czas zimnego startu (ponad minutę!), Problemy z dostępnością, Brak przejściówki z amerykańskiego na polski rodzaj wtyczki zasilającej
Wydawać by się mogło, że mając do dyspozycji system Android, twórcy odtwarzaczy multimedialnych mają przed sobą proste zadanie. Okazuje się jednak, że na pozór podobne urządzenia mogą się bardzo od siebie różnić i nie chodzi tu tylko o kwestie estetyczne...
