Tiny Cortex-A8 COM runs Linux and Android, goes for $27

  SODIMM is a rather interesting packaging method for this kind of thing. Not hacker friendly, but great for OEMs that want to be able to replace this part.

  The SODIMM factor is useless without a carrier board. And I can't see the pricing on the carrier board except for the combo which is being sold for "$59 in volume". The $27 price is also for the 275 MHz part in 1000s quantity, not the 600 MHz part. That's $34 (in 1000s?). Good luck running any kind of desktop on 275 MHz, much less Android.

  That's $27 in volume, which is a bit of a disappointment after getting used to Raspberry Pis in single unit volume of $25. However, unlike the RPi, this is likely more suitable for commercial use, once you figure out how to buy one. BTW, single unit price is $67.50, prior to buying an eval board to attach the COM to.
