So do you see other alternative XBMC hardware?

There are many powerful Android sticks like the MK908 (http://blog.geekbuying.com/index.php/2013/04/19/tronsmart-mk908-another-rk3188-quad-core-mini-pc-tv-box-release-review/). But the XBMC video hardware acceleration is still in development and I couldn't find a MKxxx device with full Linux support.

At the moment this device looks most promising for me:

Not as powerful as the MKxxx devices, but full XBMC and Linux support out of the box. Lot's it written here:

As they are looking for active support, I already wrote a short email some days ago and suggested Xbian as an available option. The XBMC team and RASPBMC (Sam) will already get an development kit.
But I would recommend that someone of the Xbian team will also write a short email to them, if you guys are interested to work with this device.

Do you see other hardware alternatives for the future?

Fast forward to March 2016 & latest XBian works quite nicely on Cubox. A grateful Cubox owner says much appreciated!
