  • Rana, that's a pretty extreme view to take from one (i.e. the first) anonymous review post about something that has not yet been released...  One could be excused for thinking you had a vested interest in the failure of this product.  Do you?

  • Lefebvre, have you not seen the reviews at http://www.geek.com/articles/chips/via-launch-a-49-android-pc-20120...

    "DON'T buy this. VIA has done absolutely terrible in the past, and that hasn't changed. They have a tendency to blatantly lie about their software support. Have a look at any articles onphoronix.com about VIA, or search some forum posts."

    Well, the Android API is very straightforward and the documentation is good, so porting the current ground station is just a matter of someone volunteering. :)

  • John, I think there is a lot of interest to build a light weight ground station dedicated to run MP with with video input and output. (for camera input, and display).  So, that would be why this thing could be useful.

    A Raspberry Pi could also work, obviously.  I don't know which would be better, but either would require some kind of new program, because MP won't run on Android, or Linux (well, it doesn't run well).

    For UAV applications where you don't need a monitor interface etc, the Calibri T20 is better suited. Smaller, less weight and has more power. http://www.toradex.com/Products/Colibri/Modules/Colibri-T20

  • From here they're web page does not even work for me http://apc.io/ maybe too overload with the news.

  • Btw, Paul, the pre-order doesn't even work yet.

  • Rana, are you saying in some sort of round about way that there's something wrong with the graphics hardware?  Anyways, I can always think about buying anything, and in this case I probably will. ;-)  Looks like a nice cheap little board to play with.  Even more useful than the Raspberry.

  • @Rana:  Huh?
