This is an android mini pc which is available in Amazon for $65. This device has got great reviews in Amazon. The primary use of this device is to make any ordinary TV an Android TV. cool isn't it?
My imito mx1 experience
I mainly use this device to watch movies in my hard disk, in my NAS drive and online videos. Everyone said that this device has poor Wi-Fi connectivity but I didn't feel that even though my router is in next room from my imito.

How did the package came to me
The package was very small and the size of the device was slightly bigger than a flash drive. It was well packed and the device was delivered in perfect shape.
What was inside the box
The package has the device, a power adapter, a OTG cable, a HDMI extension cable and a manual. The manual is pretty use less if you know how to work on a tablet.
How I hooked it up with my TV
Connecting the mini pc to my TV was very simple since the TV has its own USB which powered up my device. Because of this no cables were running to the mini PC. Once the device is connected my TV became a smart TV. I played some high profile HD movies in the device and device seems to run the movies smoothly with no hitch. I could not post any screenshot with videos because of copy right issue. I tested the device by playing 1080P MKV files and it played with out any lag in video or audio and I would say that I was really impressed with this device.
I have connected a wireless keyboard and mouse, 2 TB hard drive with this device. This device also supports SD cards from 2-32 gigs.
Some Screenshots of the mini pc
The first time boot would be slow since android will load the dalvik cache and once it is loaded the device resembled a tablet. I installed some of my favorite softwares like Go Laucher HD, AirDroid, MX Video Player, Super Popup Player etc.
Some screen shots,
Flash support
This device has flash player installed all you have to do is find a good browser that supports this software. I am currently using firefox beta which is really good in rendering the flash content. I opened the youtube through fire fox and I could see the desktop site.
Conclusion
I have used many android devices like phones, tablets and I always wanted to own an android TV but the cost of those TVs were very high and I already own a 32 inch LED TV and this device gave a new avatar to my dumb TV. Now with this device I could watch movies from my NAS drive, flash drive, HDD and online. The is one more device that is available in market which is called imito mx2, this is also a very similar device but with a plastic housing. I liked this imito mx1 because of the aluminium finish and sleek look.
