Whoah, there's tons of new ones since last I looked, including numerous Android 4.0 models, with seemingly pretty good hardware.

I'm almost at the point where I think I could use one of those as my primary computer...plug in a mouse and keyboard, a big 1080P monitor, and do everything online. The ssh clients for Android, so far, are insufficient, however...but, I guess I could use OpenSSH in a terminal if I were using a full keyboard. That'd be an interesting experiment.

If only I didn't need to occasionally do compute-intensive audio and graphic work...



For the compute-intensive work, why not just shell into a beefy box? We spent $3k on a 96M RAM 12core(+ht means 24 apparent cores) box that we run OpenStack on, with a big-ass SSD and 2 TB of spinny platters, and it's PHENOMENAL to use remotely :)


I was thinking about using one as a robot brain. I'm still looking for a cheap USB motor/servo controller.


Arduino doesn't fit your needs?


I use a DFRobot Romeo, but I'd rather have something a little cheaper, perhaps something based around an atmega32u4 to eliminate the ftdi.
