$74 MK802 Android micro-PC take on the Cotton Candy, RasPi
- PythonDeveloper 14y agoJust bought one.. WooHoo!!! Can't wait to get it and play with it. Went through http://bit.ly/J0PVYJ http://bit.ly/J0PVYJ (not an affiliate link) original link is : http://www.cnx-software.com/2012/05/17/74-usd-allwinner-a10-android-4-0-mini-pc-usbhdmi-stick/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=74-usd-allwinner-a10-android-4-0-mini-pc-usbhdmi-stick http://www.cnx-software.com/2012/05/17/74-usd-allwinner-a10-...
- joshu 14y agoThose links are the same. Which one did you buy it from? (Man. I JUST recieved a Genesi Efika MX yesterday. $129 for 800 mhz, 512mb ram, 8gb SSD, runs ubuntu. Maybe that's not too shabby.)
- Kilimanjaro 14y agoPC in a pendrive, plug it in the nearest monitor and there you have it, mobile computer on the cheap. I like the idea.

- joenathan 14y agoWould be nice for a cheap carputer. Although audio out might be an issue, I'm assuming it does audio over HDMI?
- slantyyz 14y agoCould probably be done using a usb bluetooth dongle assuming your car is newish and supports a2dp.
- beagle3 14y agoraspberry pi has standard analog audio out, at one third of the cost. In every use case I can think of, the Raspberry Pi wins hands down.
- gravitronic 14y ago.. Except for availability.
- beagle3 14y agoUp until a couple of days ago, it seems neither did the MK802 (not sure it's available now ...) And within 3 months, RaspPi's availability is supposed to be mostly solved as well. I think the wait is more than worth it for the echo system that it has and is collecting in the meantime.
- yaxu 14y agoIt seems the Raspberry Pi's standard audio out is noisy, low bitrate, basically unusable for music.
- TeamMCS 14y agoSo why would this be a good option over the many A10 + Mali based tablets around? Take the Ainol elf, not that much more but with its own screen etc?
- aw3c2 14y agoPlease do not submit links like this. See the bottom of the "article" for its source, that one is so much better. http://www.cnx-software.com/2012/05/17/74-usd-allwinner-a10-android-4-0-mini-pc-usbhdmi-stick/ http://www.cnx-software.com/2012/05/17/74-usd-allwinner-a10-...
- joshu 14y agocnx-software.com seems to be pretty good, too.
- slantyyz 14y agoAre these things fast enough to run MAME? I'd love to build a mini MAME cabinet with one of these.
- nextparadigms 14y agoThey should be: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zis6s8nMhCw&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zis6s8nMhCw&feature=relat...
- tseabrooks 14y agoAndroid kills the deal for me. Can I get it with linux?
- timdorr 14y agoAndroid runs on Linux.
- joshu 14y agoAndroid has a heavily modified kernel.
- nextparadigms 14y agoHow many Linux apps run on ARM? I actually don't know, but I assume the vast majority of them.
- zik 14y agoI work with embedded linux on ARM. Check out EmDebian as an example of a full linux distro for ARM.
- franksalim 14y agoThey are using the Allwinner A10. You ought to have some luck: http://rhombus-tech.net/allwinner_a10/ http://rhombus-tech.net/allwinner_a10/ (See the source and kernel sections.)
- darkstalker 14y agoyou can install a linux userspace inside android and chroot into it
- cnxsoft 14y agodding the Ubuntu or debian image (http://rhombus-tech.net/allwinner_a10/a10_image/ http://rhombus-tech.net/allwinner_a10/a10_image/) to a 4GB microSD card should boot Linux in that device. You may need to hack it a bit to make it work though, but information is available in the web. Hopefully, we'll get stable images available soon.
- joshu 14y agoThere are an assload of set top android boxes on alibaba. Any of them hackable to run standard linuxes?
- shimon_e 14y agoConsidering I can get the tablet included for about the same price. And that allwinner a13 is on the market. The price should be dropping soon.
