Announced today (http://apc.io/) and running on an 800 MHz VIA core, the 170 x 85mm 'APC' is expected to ship this July (http://www.tweaktown.com/news/24233/via_introduces_amazing_49_apc_android_computer_we_ go_hands_on/index.html). It has 2GB of flash storage and 512MB of DDR3 memory. 'A modified version of Google Android 2.3 uses up most of that 2GB of flash storage, but there are external storage options. On the back I/O is a microSD slot, and of course you could hook in an external USB 2.0 drive. VIA spent a lot of time customizing Android to enable keyboard and mouse support which natively it does not support. ... On the I/O panel you get VGA output, HDMI output (up to 720p playback with hardware acceleration), four USB 2.0 ports, gigabit LAN and audio out and microphone in.' With a 'Neo ITX' form factor, VIA touts the single-board computer as a 'bicycle for your mind.
