The Rikomagic MK802 IIIs is a tiny Android device which you can plug into a TV to run Android apps, surf the web, play games, or perform other activities on your television.
It has a dual core processor, runs Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, and tends to sell for around $60. But the folks at Rikomagic sent me one to take a look at recently, and since they don’t want it back I figured I’d see if one of y’all would like it.
The MK802 IIIs features a Rockchip RK3066 ARM Cortex-A9 dual core processor, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of storage, 2 microUSB ports, a full-sized USB port, an HDMI connector, and a microSD card slot.
It also comes with an HDMI extension cable which you can use if your TV isn’t set up in a way that lets you plug th estick right into an HDMI port.
Unfortunately in my tests, the MK802 IIIs suffered from poor WiFi reception. Your results may vary depending on what WiFi router you’re using and how close you Android device is to your router, among other things.
Anyway, if you’re interesting in winning the MK802 IIIs, all you have to do is:
- Leave a comment below by 5:00AM Eastern time, 3/18/2013
- Make sure to have a valid email, Twitter, Facebook, or Google+ account associated with your commenting account so I can contact you.
- Respond within 48 hours if your name is randomly chosen and I send you a message letting you know.
If a winner is selected but doesn’t respond, I’ll randomly select another winner.
Update: Congratulations to our winner, Warren Lian (pragmatist123)!
Since the MK802 IIIs comes in a small box and I’m feeling generous, this contest is international – I’ll ship the prize anywhere in the world. Keep in mind, if your country requires you to pay taxes, tariffs, or other fees on prize winnings, you’ll be responsible for eating those costs yourself.
Hoping to win this time
Hope I’m not too late 🙂

One of these would solve a device issue I am having, and the price of free is perfect.
Looks like a cool kit to try. Have been watching these mini PCs for a while.
Hi ; in fact according to this page on liliputing ( https://liliputing.com/2013/01/mk802-iiis-motorola-lapdock-picuntu-cheap-linux-laptop-video.html ) , this model is already supported by picbuntu. Is it an error or not ?
Nice; would be great to test it under ubuntu when possible

This great Stick-o-Magic MK802IIIS little gadget is just like a “smart pill” that would turn my retarded *BRAINLESS ZOMBIE* TV into a multimedia *DOUBLE-BRAINED MONSTER* TV!!! 😀

Would love to check this one out.

Cool Device. Will try Ubuntu
would like one to try 🙂
Love to see a new android device again.These things are already pretty interesting and gets more when you get to know they can run full blown Ubuntu OS. If we some how can load Ubuntu in its internal memory, then it might run faster. Probably this will be the first thing that i will try, if i get my hands on one of these little tech pieces.
Hmm … Rikomagic MK802 IIIS seems to be a really good kind of hardware … I’d like to test it at home 😉
Good luck me!
It would be very nice if I won one. I am thinking a lot about buy one MK802 or MK808 as my media player and smart TV.
Pick me, Pick me! I’ll take care of shipping 😀
Great to see an international competition again 🙂

Looks great. Can’t afford a new TV so this looks like a good alternative to have a fully functioning smart TV, and it means that you aren’t tied down to just the apps that the TV manufacturer have preinstalled or approved.

Little great gadget!
Hi
Let me tell you me experience regarding the Android Dongle!
About a month ago I was searching eBay for one of these great gadgets, but at a low price.
I found one Chinese seller that had it for $18. I thought to myself “What a bargain!!”; so, I ordered 2!
This was on a Saturday. On Monday, when I checked my order, the seller appeared as “No longer an eBay member”, thing that got a bit worried. But, by the end of the day, my item appeared as “Dispatched”, so I was happy again.
After about 2 long weeks of item tracking madness, I received a tiny envelope from China (with the tracking code given to my eBay transaction), containing 2 pearl-like spheres. God, that was disappointing.
Now, I have opened a case against the seller in the “Resolution center”, hoping to, at least, get my money back.
And that, my friend, was the first time I’ve been scammed on eBay (hopefully the last)!!
Regards from Gloucestershire!
Nice
This is cool!
Yes, I would playing with this
That’s a great gift!
RNG, please be kind to me XD.
Another giveaway! Love this site!

The MK80″X”s are known for the poor Wi-Fi signal due to an antenna fault.
If I’ll win it, I can have a go to fix it & I’ll let you know how it works!
Regards! 🙂

A capable device that has not got plenty of competitors. Someone should try to add more features to it and improve the software. As for me I’d like to see Display Link support on these.

I would love to win this as well!!
Heck, yeah I would like the mk802.
Thanks Brad
Count me in! Liliputing is awesome and I’d love to win.
Would love to win! 🙂
Amazing!
It would be great to hook it up to monitor and use it as desktop replacement (probably with PicUntu). It only consumes ~5W and it’s more than powerfull enough for web browsing, email, learning, youtube, casual gaming and more. Compared to >100W full desktop computer (that runs pretty much all day), this would really save some money on electric bills.
Pick me! Pick me! 😛
😀
Nice!!!
Thank you very much.
please please me!
I would like to give this a spin.
Got to me my turn one of these days…
Please sign me up. I have friends that would enjoy this.
could be a handy little box, and it would be darn close to my router, so I’m not concerned about wifi reception.
Make my TV smarter!
