Wow, check out this amazing little (1 sq.in.!) computer from VoCore.
It is $20 and has WIFI, USB, UART, 20+ GPIOs and runs Linux.
VoCore is an open hardware project which implies, as their web site correctly puts it, "You are able to control every bit of your VoCore." That keeps alive the Wozniakian ideal of comprehending everything in your computing platform.
Now to think of something I can use this for!
Oh, and I don’t want to forget to mention Gumstix which I remember seeing in 2009.
