Le Potato + Android = DEAD?
I've had the Le Potato board for around 2 years now. The main reason I bought it is that I hoped to have a descent Android experience on a touchscreen display however I regret buying this board.
1 I don't understand the reason of having 2 Android builds the supposed "normal" build and the ATV one when BOTH of them are targeted for TV usage. None of these boards support touchscreens and there are no updates.
2. Since the purchase date I've been told multiple times that there would be an Android 9 update which would fix these problems. We were promised to have Android 9 in April of 2019, then the ETA moved to October. No news since then. We do not get any updates, no replies on the forum. The board simply collects dust in the cupboard.
SO BASED ON EVERYTHING WE CAN SAY THAT ANDROID FOR LE POTATO IS OFFICIALLY DEAD, BURIED AND A HEAVY GRAVESTONE PUT OVER IT.
IF YOU CONSIDER BUYING THIS BOARD FOR ANDROID FORGET IT. YOU WILL ONLY GET NEGATIVE EXPERIENCE.
p.s. if you need a cheap board that runs android fine go for odroid c4
