From.what I understand, the Mini cost won't be much different. We had heard that it would likely retail for about $15 less than the Mio. Until we get one to test, it is unknown how suitable it will be to our market.
Brought the Edision OS Mio to North America because it was a significantly more capable hardware than any other STB. Over a year later, and the models are still the most capable STBs available. The thing that sealed the deal for me was El Bandido's image development expertise and the assistance of Edision and tuner manufacturer Availink to support the TNAP image for an excellent NA hobbyist experience.
