<p>HA! No sooner did I hit "send" than Newark sent me something

<p> What about a cheap but capable board that could host Android

<div dir="ltr">From time to time
interesting "mini" boards appear from maker groups, ham
operators, etc. to solve a particular problem (current
sense, fpga develoment, DDS, etc.) These devices are
inexpensive ( $50 +/- to a couple of hundred dollars) and
offer more specific capabilities than the generic OEM
reference designs without man-years of development. They
have enough market interest (100's or maybe 1000's of units)
to justify development effort but not enough to attract the
Chinese Walkers (the giant four-legged assault vehicles from
"Empire Strikes Back"). My apologies to Mr. Lucas.<br clear="none">

wheelhouse is PCB's, FPGA, and firmware. My interest far
