    Is anyone else here as interested in this little device as much as I am? For those who may not know, it is a $25-$35 ARM Linux/Android/whatever you want "development" board......oh and it is the size of a credit card

    Right now the "official build" is a custom ARM based Fedora Remix.

    These boards are actually quite powerful, able to do Apple's Airplay capability as well as full XBMC to 1080p.

    Don't be so negative man! I would assume it is no fun finding manufacturers in a country half a world away. You are right though, and manufacturing did begin the 10th of last month.

    Wanted one but now I have a full PC plugged into my TV so I think I don't really need one.

    Interesting idea, turn your average tv into a computer... Sort of... Still don't understand why it's so under powered? I'm assuming to maintain low costs but how much more would it cost for a gig of ram and a 1ghz processor or so?

    Also, interesting product but the name makes me hungry...

    Probably at least another $10 and it's much more appealing at $25. I guess they could of made more models.
