Rasperry Pi took the world by storm, winning hearts and minds with the concept of an extremely cheap and fully functional PC. Yet the Rasperry Pi concept, that is: a passively cooled cheap system-on-a-board, is very much in its infancy. We have already seen VIA take a shot at the same market with their $50 APC. Now an entrepreneur is launching something called the Gooseberry board, being dubbed the Rasperry Pi alternative. Featuring three times the amount of processing power and an included power charger for just £40 compared to the Rasperry Pi which costs £16~, the Gooseberry board should make a solid alternative for anyone fed up of waiting for the Rasperry Pi. The unit will ship with Android 2.3 but is capable of Ubuntu Linux and Android 4.0 (ICS) as demonstrated below:
Specifications
Requirements to get the board running
As you can see the specifications are impressive given the low price tag, and the addition of Wi-Fi instead of LAN may be more convenient for many users who do not want to be limited to sitting near their home router.
