Tiny computer that cost $40. I picked one up last week and have been using just the bare unprotected board as a TV box. (waiting for the case to show up in the mail from China) They are a pretty quick little device. The one i bought is the latest version with the quad core CPU and 1gb of ram. Anyone else have any experience with these? I was thinking of getting another one and setting it up with riscOS and using it as an alternative way to browse the web and chat on IRC. Overall impressed with the little thing. Wikipedia says it is the fastest selling computer with 65 million sold. I have to order online because none of the morons around here heard of it before. Understandable because i am in Canada. I have become used to people around here being a decade behind in most things. Computer shops would be still peddling windows 98 if Microsoft didn't discontinue and block it.
Check this little thing out if you get a chance. Multiple flavours of linux available for it which it installs itself once you set up the SD card with the base install system. Really simple to do.
