Cortex-A9 @800Mhz, 512MB Memory, 4GB NAND Flash, not yet available. For $50-$60 you can already buy an Android mini-PC with double capacity in each of these specs.

They sell the innards without the book-case as "rock", which is $80 dollars, available now, and also add VGA out.

  What is next, "scissors" - a solder-it-yourself kit?

    According to http://apc.io/specifications/ http://apc.io/specifications/, the third product is called "8750", which somewhat damages the pun. But seeing that the Paper has an accessible JTAG port, they could really sell a JTAG adapter under the "Scissors" name.

Are there any good computers like that available with an A15? I might pick one up for the tinker factor alone.

  Not at that price. Samsung has their Armdale board at $250: http://www.arndaleboard.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page http://www.arndaleboard.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page If you're going to drop ~$250 it might make more sense to just buy the Samsung ARM Chromebook or the Nexus 10 and slap your own Linux or Android build on it, unless you really need the easy JTAG connection or something. There's supposed to be a cheaper ($135) option in the form of the 'ARMBrix Zero', but it is currently only up for preorder: http://www.cnx-software.com/2012/12/26/135-armbrix-zero-exynos-5-development-board-is-now-available-for-pre-order/ http://www.cnx-software.com/2012/12/26/135-armbrix-zero-exyn... There's also the novena laptop bunnie and xobs are building (still in progress), if you want something very DIY (and presumably lots more expensive): http://www.kosagi.com/w/index.php?title=Novena_Main_Page http://www.kosagi.com/w/index.php?title=Novena_Main_Page

    Thank you for the information. I was looking for something around $50-$60, but I guess the A15 is that much better that it warrants the increased price?

I have found the earlier model, the MK802/MK803 to be unreliable. I've gone through two of them already and have opted not to buy a third. The first one quit working, the second one the wifi quit working and other strangeness.

  MK808 is really great.. been running it for about a month or so and have had no issues with it.
