I don't have nor am using any Android GoogleTV USB dongle, yet. However, I would appreciate if you could share with us the brand/model of overheated devices and where you purchased them from, may be we all can try to avoid buying them in the future.<div>

As a former owner of one of these miniPC GoogleTV devices, I would advise at<br>
least a modicum of caution. Perhaps it was just the unit I had, but I regularly<br>
experienced overheating problems and either video or network drop-outs<br>
(possibly as a consequence of the overheating) that made regular usage a<br>
non-starter.<br>
<br>
Was a shame, too. There's a lot of potential packed into those things. I figure<br>
I'll wait another development cycle and see if the issues I experienced are<br>
resolved. Of course, if I was just simply doing something wrong and other folks<br>
have experience with perfectly working devices, I'd love to hear that, too.<br>
