[Thinlinc-technical] Low Cost Android Thin Client.

[Ken Mandelberg]

Thanks for the clarification. My interest is only in a very low cost 
appliance solution. I mentioned Android only in that there are so many 
Android/Arm media sticks or tiny boxes that go for under $100, and can 
do 1080P. Android itself is unnecessary and sits on top of Linux anyway, 
and I seem to remember seeing some that can run a small Linux 
distribution without Android.

I know the Raspbery Pi is under powered, but a box that cost twice a Pi 
and had the power to run Thinlinc desktops at least as well as Sunrays 
run theirs would be a great solution.

Are any of the hard-float ARM Linux hardware that are known to work very 
low cost? I guess Pi is hard-float-v6 but still under powered.
