VIA Initiates APC: The $49 Android PC - Page 2

They say it will fit in an itx case but what would you do for a psu that isn't extreme overkill considering the power this draws.

FordGT90Concept · May 23, 2012, 11:46 AM

What's the J3 header on it? Front panel USB? It appears to be pinned for USB:

No idea what the UART_PH header is for though.

dont buy this banana thinking in HTPC, there is android boxes for 70-100dls that come with ARM Cortex A8 and A9 that is better than ARM11

DigitalUK · May 23, 2012, 12:52 PM

this wouldnt make much of an HTPC without sata ports

crazy to see an adroid device with desktop PC hardware (ethernet, HDMI, etc)

It's awesome to see the guts powering android tablets and phones coming to ultra small pc form factor now, I think it's a fantastic idea, they just need to work on the hardware a bit..

these could easily sport more than one model of currently availiable quad core, like krait or tegra 3...

I'm sure if this board sells in decent numbers, better ones with the WM8950 will appear.

Serial/IO the hard way

Raspberrypi is still better for general hacking and modding, it has a full range of GPIO pins, and this one is just a tiny pc
