It looks like we're finally seeing the proliferation of single board computers take off. The latest is called the Gooseberry (http://gooseberry.atspace.co.uk/?page_id=13) . While it will cost about £40/$62 USD at release, it greatly outperforms the current crop of tiny Linux boards.
As the latest in what will be a long line of these ARM-ified single board computers, the Gooseberry hugely outperforms the VIA APC (http://hackaday.com/2012/05/23/apc-android-computer-isnt-a-raspberry-pi/#comments) and Raspberry Pi with a Allwinner A10 (http://rhombus-tech.net/allwinner_a10/) CPU running at 1.2 GHz, 512 MB of RAM, and built-in WiFi. Basically, the Gooseberry has all the features you would expect from an Android tablet; the reason for this is because the Gooseberry actually is the board found in a few Chinese tablets.
There's a few very nice features like an LVDS output to add LCD displays without hogging the HDMI output, and the form factor is incredibly thin making it perfect for building a small portable device.

After the break you can check out a walkthrough of the Gooseberry board along with evidence of it running Ubuntu.
