The Tronsmart Prometheus looks more like a spaceship (or futuristic eyeware) than a device that lets you run Android apps on your TV. But this Android box is designed to turn any TV into a smart TV capable of running Android apps so you can surf the web, watch internet video, or play games.
It’s also got a few things going for it that most Android TV boxes lack, including an Ethernet jack, 3 full-sized USB ports, and a full-sized SD card slot.
Geekbuying sells the box for $90, but the folks at the internet retailer sent me a demo unit a few months ago. Since it’s been sitting on my shelf long enough, I figure it’s time to give it away before it starts to look hopelessly out of date.
This contest is for one Tronsmart Prometheus TV box. It features a 1.5 GHz Amlogic M6 dual-core processor, Android 4.12 Jelly Bean software, HDMI and AV cables, a power supply, and a power button on the back (something that’s worth pointing out since many Android TV boxes don’t have one).
While the Amlogic processor isn’t exactly a speed demon by today’s standards, it should pack enough power to handle 720p and 1080p HD video in a variety of formats. You can find more details in a review from CNX-Software from earlier this year.
Here’s how to enter to win this TV box:

Tronsmart. huh? When I first saw the photo I thought they were trying to make it look like like a detached saucer section from an Enterprise-class starship. Regardless of intent to look like Tron, or StarTrek, I’d plug it into my TV.
Looks fancy! Count me in for the drawing, please. =)
here’s crossing my fingers.
This would be cool to replace my crappy Google TV box.
Nice
This would be handy in my new front room.

An excellent present for my parents. I’m a “TVless” person and I’m not planning to change that anytime soon. The Web is too awesome to waste time on TV.

How could a movie with a Bugs Bunny like ending get a 7.1 rating on IMDb? Oh, sorry I digress…
One can never have too many android boxes.
May I be the lucky one to get this one?

Eh, I’ll take it.

The script for the movie Prometheus was a mess but I’d like to watch Prometheus on the Prometheus.
