It looks like we’re finally seeing the proliferation of single board computers take off. the most recent is called the Gooseberry. While it will cost about £40/$62 USD at release, it greatly outperforms the current crop of tiny Linux boards.
As the most recent in what will be a long line of these ARM-ified single board computers, the Gooseberry hugely outperforms the through APC and Raspberry Pi with a Allwinner A10 CPU running at 1.2 GHz, 512 MB of RAM, and built-in WiFi. Basically, the Gooseberry has all the features you would expect from an Android tablet; the reason for this is because the Gooseberry actually is the board found in a few Chinese tablets.
There’s a few very good features like an LVDS output to add LCD displays without hogging the HDMI output, and the form element is extremely thin making it ideal for building a small portable device.
After the break you can check out a walkthrough of the Gooseberry board along with evidence of it running Ubuntu.
