VIA's $49 Android-Based Mini-PC is No Bigger Than a Banana

It's a shame it only offers output up to 720p, even though it's more expensive than the Raspberry Pi.
Guess I'll go with the latter then, since being able to play full HD movies would be very awesome.

DEBIAN is running on it !!!!

Linux can be installed in a uSD card or in a HDD via USB (dunno anout USB Pens and SSDs but i guess so)

Reflash OS to the NAND is in the works.

Instead of HDMI and Composite Video it uses it uses HDMI and VGA

4 USB instead of 2.

Check out the forums for details !!!!

I don't like it, I bought an MK802 on this site: http://androidpcmini.com and it's much more better.
I recommend for everyone.

Am I the only one bummed about the 15 watts bit? My Raspberry Pi draws around 3.5 watts under load... and around the same at idle oddly enough. *shrug*

I would see this product as being in-built to TV's , but no 1080p?????? why? If it could do 1080p i would really be interested in one.

This thing needed a Sata port with port mulitplier capibilities or one USB 3.0 port, and a gigibit ethernet port and they would have had a sale for a home server. Though I suppose I could add an external USB 2.0 gigabit port...
IMO 720p is just stupid for this board.

Please make a version with more powerfull cpu and FULL HD support, also you could add a support of DDR3 and a single SATA port would be really awesome!!!
