There seems to be no end to the number of Android-running devices that make their appearance these days, and recently a company going by the name of Shenzhen Geniatech thought to add Google’s OS to a new ARM-powered set-top box.

The device, which is called the Enjoy TV, has just visited the FCC offices in the US to reveal a bunch of its secrets.

As Wireless Goodness has found out, inside this tiny box stands an ARM Cortex A9 SoC running at 800MHz paired with 512MB of RAM as well as an SD card slot, Bluetooth, two USB ports and an HDMI port.

The OS of choice is Android 2.2 and it supports 1080p video playback and all the other features that come standard for this mobile operating system, except voice calls.

For control users rely on a QWERTY remote that features an integrated joystick, the latter being added to replace the standard touchscreen.

There’s no mention of when this Android contraption will hit the US, but its recently obatined FCC approval means that we are getting closer to this date.
