Surprisingly small, this little monster boast a serious punch for its size.
features
  • 700MHz (Arm 11)
  • 128MB of RAM
  • OpenGL SE
  • Linux Ubuntu
  • SDHC (mass Storage)
  • USB Conectivity

Here is a little more info from the BBC

As you can see it has lots of applications for tinkers and enthusiasts, and all of that for a target price of $25. Most impressive!


For me I see its a Micro-Emulation Station!... lots and lots of potential.
