Gooseberry Launches Android-based Raspberry Pi Rival

New submitter masternerdguy writes with this snippet from Tom's Hardware about yet another tiny, Linux-capable single-board computer: "The manufacturer claims that the Gooseberry is 'roughly 3 x more powerful in processing power,' and twice the RAM (512 MB) [compared to] the Raspberry Pi. The Gooseberry does not come with analog video and lacks a LAN port, but supports Wi-Fi. At this time, the board only supports Android 4 ICS and Ubuntu without graphics acceleration. However, Gooseberry is offering premade images for Ubuntu. Support for Arch Linux is 'expected in the future.'"

    And so much slower / more unstable than a physical connection.

    And who thinks it's hard to find an Ethernet cable? You buy a box off them (20-25 ft.) off of NewEgg for $100, and grab one whenever you need one. It's like complaining that you have to open a refrigerator door to get at some food.
