how can it compare to the raspberry pi when it ships with android?

the raspberry pi is an educational/development machine, what meaningful work could you possibly do on this device?

what a miserable salesman 😉

its a bit of a peashooter with the SOC’s around at the moment .. by the time you add it to a miniitx case and pay your import duty/VAT (on agregate of cost plus postage)/VAT&Duty collection admin fee, i and postage in to the EU its over £100 !

some people would prefer a pie with a cheap snap together laset cut flat pack case and a mini usb phone charger plus no vat or duty and minimnal postage (though theres a 3 month wait for a pi)

i prefer something will a little more grunt for this money .. im waiting for a souped up Allwinner A10 device – dual core A9 SOC with 1GB mem and SATA

According to Liliputing, VIA will charge $38 for shipping to Europe, the US, or Canada. 🙁

Even if this Via APC $49 half ITX Form Factor PC is small.

I think, it won´t be as attractive to use as this USB-Stick Form Factor pc.

When it is possible to make a very small Form Factor PC as a USB-Stick,
it will be very attractive to use for many people who will be anti-Intel PC like.

The USB-Stick Form Factor is much more innovative than half of ITX Form Factor.
