curaga:
It's indeed quickly starting to look that the competitors can ship in volume before the Pi..
roberts:
Like the 1GB mk802!

hi friends,
i use a raspberrypi now for a couple of weeks with the official debian-iso.
i work and play with plain debian on a couple of platforms and it's a long lasting love.
this official iso is much too fat for my taste...
i love it lean, clean, secure and fast, so i lost a bit the interest in this official iso...
perhaps i will config my own installation, but i would prefer something light like tinycore on it.
so if you want i test everything that you want to provide...
thank you in advance for all your contributions.

Roberts and Co
thankyou for sharing your hardware device knowledge. It is very interesting
to learn of personal computing devices now on the market. The mk802 is anazing
to see. (if you "could" see it, that is....it's so tiny)
After reading, it appears that the new APC computer from VIA does not directly connect to google play marketplace website. You can certainly install apps and use many android apps by using the .apk file of each app.
The notes do not mention if the APC computer will come with any pre-installed , ready rolled and free "third party marketplace" app stores.
I know it is simple to get any free app from google play marketplace by downloading to your PC desktop. There is a free tool to do that. It is a free google Chrome extension called

You still need your device ID for your android device. For that you get a simple free androd app of the web which runs on your device and shows you your devices ID number.
This can then allow you to get apps from google play marketplace and put them on a memory
card and into your android device.
i thank you again
V.

I guess that they don't understand the meaning of a queue. Quickly losing interest here. In fact ready to cancel. Keep us posted on your progress.

Sorry to hear that - I ordered mine on the 3rd of March and it came through last week. It's always frustrating having to wait for a new toy!

As long as the pi has driven the *ridiculous* price of these boards/small ARM|x86 pc's down then it's done us all a huge favor.
