The second official beta of [XBMC](http://www.engadget.com/tag/xbmc/) 12 "Frodo" is ready for testing, and if you've been waiting to move up [from the nightlies](http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/18/xbmc-for-android-available-in-nightly-builds/) you finally can -- as long as it meets a few requirements, like supporting Neon processor code (most HTC and Samsung devices do). There's a compatibility list of devices known to work, although there are known issues with Android 4.2 that won't be addressed until Beta 3. Also improved in this version is support for the Xbox 360 controller, no matter what platform you're using it on, along with some audio fixes and other tweaks. Hit the source link for the full list of updates or just go straight to the download page if your media device can't wait.
