Matchstick is a pocket-sized wifi-enabled stick that you plug into an HDMI port on your TV or monitor. With Matchstick, you can “fling” your favorite content from any smartphone, tablet, or laptop to stream to a big screen TV. Use your smartphone or tablet as a remote control or to interact with the TV in ways never thought before possible!

 

The Hardware

We wanted to make Matchstick hardware specs an upgrade over the components you might find in the leading products on the market today that might rhyme with "boneblast."

 

We selected the dual-core Rockchip 3066 processor, increased the onboard storage to 4GB, and dropped in 1GB of DDR3 memory. The bigger processor and increased memory gives you a much better video playback cache and increased performance for whatever games and custom overlays you might dream up.

 

Open source hardware and software means there are no limitations to what you can do with Matchstick. No need to jailbreak your Matchstick, the door is wide open!
