Could this mean aros will be available on other more powerfull arm hardware ? TV-sticks are double the power of raspberry and about the same price. A9 cpu 1,6mhz dual core 1gb android stick is available for around 50usd.


I don't think so. Efforts are made on the Pi as it's WAY more popular than the Android stick you mention, often based around not so well documented hardware. Native hardware APIs on the Pi are well known and that makes it a good target for alternative OS porting.
All these sticks have in common with the great Pi is the ARM cpu architecture: the rest of the SOC elements is totally different.
So I believe it won't happen but you guys can prove me wrong. The more the merrier :D
