| What to put... | Not a bad a idea i suppose, would need to get out of beta stage i presume. Also it would need some sort of casing! Static electricity will kill it.

| free-gadgets.co.nr | Totally worth the money! There's some other similar stuff out there too, I think.. Can't remember the name.. Will have to search around.. EDIT: Got it! It's named Cotton Candy. But damn expensive: http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2011/...ton-candy-fxi/ It's gonna be out for $200!

| free-gadgets.co.nr | Yeah, on top of that, it runs Android (I'd die to get one similar to this) and has exactly the same tech specs as the Galaxy S II. Cotton Candy's got a 1.2 gHz Exynos processor with a gig of RAM and Mali-400 GPU. I think it would be worth it. Anyways, I just noticed something. The FAQ of Raspberry Pi states that earlier versions of Android, that is earlier than 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich), could be ported to it, if the Android community puts in effort.. Cool! An Android running PC for $35!!

| What to put... | It's basically all you need for a standard pc, hdmi, usb 2.0 etc. Plug it in to any power source and you have yourself a pc (without the screen, keyboard or mouse) for around £20.
