The ASUS CUBE with Google TV is a media player with an Android 3.2 Honeycomb operating system that lets you access a variety of web-based multimedia on your TV screen. It's equipped with Wi-Fi wireless connectivity, but it also provides an Ethernet jack for wired Internet access. It connects to your TV via HDMI and it has two USB 2.0 ports, which you can use to watch media stored on a portable USB drive or USB memory stick. The Google TV-powered device features a Marvell Armada 1500 Chipset and 1GB of RAM for fast multitasking.
The CUBE affords access to over 100,000 movies and TV shows from a variety of entertainment apps including Netflix, Amazon Instant Video, HBO GO, YouTube and more.
