Pivos XIOS



The Pivos XIOS (full name Pivos XIOS DS Media Play, or Sir Honorable Dr. Pivos XIOS DS Media Play the 5th of Wales) is an ARM set-top-box that can run XBMC on either Android or Linux. The Pivos XIOS is the original development target for the XBMC for Android port. The XIOS performs at or above the level of a jailbroken ATV2, but also comes with USB ports, micro-SD card, and doesn't need to be jailbroken.
