Possible New Option For Embedded Computing

Just saw this on Engadget's CES coverage. Not clear if it will work without being plugged into an HDMI port since it is designed as an entertainment dongle, but has some promise if it will.

Im going to have to give that a shot. "It might be the computer I was looking for for my droid" - or something like that...

Yep. That's the newest one to the market. Need a decent power source though. It draws something like 3A I think?

3 amps is not much , assuming it is a 12 volt supply that is 36 watts. Using a DC supply that makes it way easier to retrofit into your project. Plus this guy is tiny. I may grab one for the power wheels project.
