Android MB

[piasabird]

Are Android motherboards going to be the next big thing? Do you think Android PC's are coming?

??? No Heatsink ??? Very small Computer Systems.

Android Game Systems? Android Servers?

Has Linux met its match?

Via has been playing around with an Android MB half the size of MINI-ITX that does not require a CPU Cooler.

Android is just a Linux distribution with a peculiar UI and API.

really? so a device designed to work in the parm of your hand, gets a massive size increase, and you expect it to need better cooling?

not going to happen.

Only reason I see Via going down that android/MB path is becuase there own processors (c3's ect) are loosing market share to intel's atoms.

While I seriously dont think Via Android PC is worth buying, Android as an OS or linux variant or whatever, could replace windows someday if it caught on as the preferred OS for tablets. You better believe Microsoft counts every tablet sold as the enemy.
