Android on a Stick?

I'm interested in picking up an android on a stick so I can play around with android and have a tiny computer I can slap into any tv/monitor wherever I go when traveling.

Things i'm looking for are 1080p video streaming (netflix, amazon instant, etc), some light android gaming, and web browsing really. Two USB ports, bluetooth, and an hdmi out would be great if possible. Ideally it'll be running the latest version of android as well.

Any suggestions from people who've used these before?

Also looking for either a bluetooth or wireless keyboard/mouse combo to pair with it.

I've tried an earlier version of that which worked pretty well. This one
has Jellybean and Bluetooth; I might order one myself in a few weeks, would love to have one to carry around. The company that makes it, Rikomagic, has another version coming out soon, though, if you want to wait.

I like this keyboard which has a trackpad built-in, this multimedia remote for HTPC use, or this combo for full mouse/keyboard. None of those are Bluetooth, though. I'm not really a fan of Bluetooth for keyboards/mice.

EDIT: There's also a keyboard/air mouse designed for Android on the same site selling the MK802 IIIS:

I have the MK908 (Quad core, 2GB RAM) and the WIFI performance is pretty bad. I may just have a bad device but it does not maintain connection very long and when it does it's really slow. Doesn't matter as much for me as I don't use the web with it, just local media, but I had hoped to use Air Droid for quick and easy media transfers but apparently Air Droid isn't compatible with it.
 
Thanks for the tips, i'm excited for the quad cores about to ship. I think i'll hold off a few weeks to see if they're any good and if the wifi issues have been worked out.
 
Is there any place that review these sticks? Or forums where people talk about them? I have been meaning to get one myself but I don't know which one to pick because the specs are all too similar.
