A startup called Equiso thinks it’s going to change TV forever. The Smart TV is an HDMI dongle that plugs into your television, and essentially turns it into an Android tablet.

You have access to everything you would on a usual Android device such as apps, the Internet, and any video content you can stream and store on the device.

They say:

Equiso puts the Power of an Android tablet on your TV.  Combined with our interactive remote, Equiso will truly refine your TV experience.

Watch stunning 1080p HD content from Netflix, Hulu Plus, YouTube and many more! Send emails, update your Facebook status, play Angry Birds or Fruit Ninja like never before. Download new apps, create and display a powerpoint, listen to music, read books, and play most all those interactive games you love so much on your phone or tablet.

Imagine showing up to do a presentation, and all you had to do, was plug it in, grab your remote, and you’re ready to go. Game night with your buddies is now easier than ever.  Bring your device with you in your pocket, plug in and play. Our 1,4 HDMI 1080p port allows for direct plugin to any TV, Monitor, or Projector. This enables any of these devices to instantly become a Smart TV and eliminates the need for extra cables.

Here are two videos that demonstrate the product, that’s for sale on Kickstarter for about R570.00.
