Just looking into this nifty little computer and seriously comsidering ordering one. I am just curious if any of you other sparks out there have one or have any experience with them and there uses? I am not sure what i want one for yet but i just want it, probably end up using it as a media streamer
 
I got one to play around with. So far as I can make out, you can go Linux or turn it in to a tiny Android device. In it's basic Linux guise, it's a bit of a clunky interface and not the fastest thing you'll ever use, but if you wanted to create a control device, this is an excellent tool.
 
Well it says it will run happily at 800mhz but u can overclock probably not loads without stabilty issues, GPU equivalent of a pentium 2 probably not great for multi tasking great little device tho I'm getting one ;)
 
I've got one. Theey're a bargain for the money. Debian Squeeze loaded onto to it, and wi-fi adaptor in use. Works really well. Now to think of something to do with it! Not media strreaming, everyone does that! Hardware control will be more interesting. Daz
 
Yeah i think i will get one too. Although i plan on hard wiring mine to save processing power over wifi connectivity. What do you plan to use yours.for if you dont mind me asking?

P**N....joking kinda.....I like anything I can hack/mod/overclock plus the idea of having a tiny device I can boot up on anyone's tv gonna get a USB hub, wifi, wireless keyboard with a touch pad 32gb micro sd card job done....I'm gonna run a stripped back Linux probably find its less demanding then android but I haven't researched that yet.
 
Used it loads before last thing was on a Xbox 360 about a year ago...hopefully this thing has a dual boot so you can try both or just use two different Sd cards see what u like more.
 
Looks like u will have to use Linux just looked at there site on the faqs page and they say it can run a early based android but for everyday use its not stable.....trust me once you start using Linux u will be hooked
