Yeah, it's ridiculous. Android 4.3 will be out by the time they've released their 2.3 unit.

According to Google there are LOTS of issues with their 1DIN Asteroid unit that's been out for quite some time. I'm actually glad I didn't end up getting one because having issues with a R5k Chinese unit probably doesn't feel half as bad as having issues with a R10k unit from a reputable brand.

sav · 02-05-2013, 06:25 AM

Haha, yeah it is in mint condition indeed. Still deciding if I want to fit it in the ST or sell it though.

Ryan86 · 02-05-2013, 06:31 AM

I hope so, but they should have been able to sort most of those issues out via software updates.

from a UK parrot certified installer: the asteroid smart will be released in the UK this week...

GeeTee86 · 02-05-2013, 08:44 AM

wonder how long WE have to wait

sav · 02-05-2013, 08:48 AM

eBay is your friend.

Honestly though, having messed around with Android on my radio I'd rather wait a bit, I wouldn't want to be an early adopter.

GeeTee86 · 02-05-2013, 08:50 AM

shipping cost and sa customs not

sav · 02-05-2013, 08:52 AM

Yep, around R700 shipping via DHL en then you're at the mercy of customs.
