Hi,

what do you think about using Android mini PCs for Freedombox?

I got this one directly from this manufacturer:
http://www.rikomagic.com/en/product/showpro_id_39_pid_19.html
for $61 + $7 shipping costs (it might be even cheaper).
2G RAM / 8G NAND Flash / Quad core 1.8GHz CPU

I was able to install Debian using this Tutorial:
http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.php?7209-Now-available-Ubuntu-Lubuntu-or-Xubuntu-on-the-latest-MK802IV-or-T428

with this system image:
http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.php?7457-Also-available-Debian

here a tutorial on how to flash this device:

GPU and Bluetooth do not have Linux drivers yet. The rest works fine. Real
desktop experience, but small and silent. For only $68.

What do you think?
