This tiny desktop computer is somewhat more pricey than the VIA APC and the Raspberry Pi, but is faster and quite a bit smaller, fitting inside a USB stick case. I'd love one of these, but at $200 can't afford it. Nice though... USB jack at one end and HDMI video at the other. In between, Micro SD card slot and micro USB port. Inside is a Samsung 1.2GHz ARM Cortex A9-class processor, 1GB of memory, plus Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. [wistful sigh] As with increasing numbers of computers these days, it runs Android OS, which is really a kind of cut-down Linux.
