Small compact design, Tons of apps available on Android, Included remote and HDMI cable, 3 USB ports, Pivos is constantly updating the firmware, Custom Linux XBMC firmware available
Takes some time to set up, Not a straight media player out of the box
The Pivos XIOS DS Media Play is a very interesting device. While it is being marketed as a media player it sure does have a lot of other applications as well. But I have to say for being marketed as a media player the media player function its not the ...
We haven’t encountered any serious issues while working with the Pivos Xios DS and we were impressed that the system felt snappier inside the menus than the Toucan SX, which had similar test results. As with the Toucan SX, the space remaining for inst...

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...
Massive App markets place, able to support both Linux and Android platforms, Enough USB ports to support external components, 32GB expandable MicroSD reader
Unit gets hot to touch, Small Internal NAND Flash Drive Space, Pricey
Pivos has developed a versatile Media Player device with the ability to support multiple formats of firmware and software, the media device supports all of today's file formats and makes things easy to use and understand. Firmware updates were also mad...
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
