Anyone know if this little beauty can be subverted to freedom:

Sumvision Cyclone Nano2 Slim Dual Core Smart Android Media Player With
XBMC pre-installed
http://www.saverstore.com/product/20672865/Sumvision-Cyclone-Nano2-Slim-Dual-Core-Smart-Android-Media-Player-With-XBMC-pre-installed

ARM Cortex A9 1.5GHz | 1080p Full HD
1GB RAM | 4GB + SD | WiFi, HDMI, USB


...or is that Crouton-ed only?


Or is the only freedom the RaspberryPi all the way down?

Cheers,
Martin
