VIA makes own micro-PC, running Android.
APC runs a custom Android system, based on Android 2.3, and comes with a bunch of applications pre-installed. It puts a lot of emphasis on power consumption, consuming only 4 watts of power when idle, and 13.5 watts under maximum load.
It comes as a bare board, measuring just 170 x 85mm, conforming to the Neo-ITX form factor (compatible with Mini-ATX and Micro-ATX.)
