Did I miss the miniaturization memo? After waiting for months, last month I was finally able to order a Raspberry Pi for $35.00 USD. Now Hardkernel (Korean company) is offering a premium board called ODROID-X for $129.00 USD. Yes, it is more money but you get a quad-core ARM CPU and 4 times the amount of RAM!!!
The Hardkernel ODROID-X has:
– 1.4 GHz Exynos 4412 quad-core ARM Cortex-A9 CPU
– 1GB of RAM
– Mali 400 graphics
– 6 USB 2.0 ports (Yes, 6 ports!!)
– 10/100Mbps Ethernet
– Microphone and headphone jacks
– Full-sized SDHC card slot
It can run both Ubuntu Linux and Android.
I am REALLY tempted to order one (even though I ordered a Raspberry Pi). I just need to come up with a reason. 🙂 Oh, I know: Canada has long cold winters. 🙂
