看图说话：威盛49美元迷你Android PC

威盛电子(Via Technologies)准备今年七月开始出货49美元的 Android PC ，现在，就让我们一窥这款低价 Android 计算机的卢山真面目。 就像是英国 Raspberry Pi 的25美元单板计算机，威盛的 APC (Android PC) 系统也以主板形式呈现，可以连接到电视或其它屏幕。据威盛稍早前发布的一项声明，该系统同时提供已针对键盘和鼠标等外围输入而最佳化的客户定义 Android，同时还将提供浏览器和其它的预装应用程序选项。 APC采用基于ARM11的处理器，该处理器由威盛的处理器子公司威信科电(WonderMedia)提供。这个系统在一个小巧的Neo-ITX主板上整合了内存、储存和完整的客制I/O功能。 这款APC的主板尺寸为17公分 x 8.5公分，可安装在任何标准的Mini-ITX或microATX机箱内。该公司表示，其目标市场包括了所有希望快速上市的DIY和OEM业者。 “APC将协助更多使用者开拓广阔的网络世界，”威盛行销副总裁Richard Brown说。 据威盛表示，这款APC闲置时功耗13.5瓦，比标准PC系统低10倍。该系统也具备支持许多影片格式的硬件加速功能。 APC的主要特性包括： 最佳化的 Android OS
支持HD TV
支持许多影片格式的硬件加速功能
VGA 和 HMDI 埠
四个 USB 2.0 埠
一个microSD 插槽
一个10/100 以太网络端口
Audio-out/ Mic-in
VIA WonderMedia ARM 11 SoC
2GB NAND Flash
512 DDR3 SDRAM
5W 电源适配器

{pagination} A peek at Via Tech's $49 Android PC Dylan McGrath Ready or not, here comes the $49 Android PC. Taiwanese chipset vendor Via Technologies Inc. is hawking a $49 PC system that runs Google Inc.'s Android operating system and is scheduled to start shipping in July. Like the Raspberry Pi—the $25 single board computer developed in the UK—Via's APC Android PC System comes in the form of a motherboard that can be connected to a TV or monitor. The system also features a custom build of Android that has been optimized for keyboard and mouse input, and comes with a browser and a selection of preinstalled apps, according to a statement released by Via Tuesday (May 22). APC is powered by an ARM11-based processor from WonderMedia, Via's low-cost processor subsidiary. The system integrates memory, storage and a full set of consumer I/O features in a small footprint Neo-ITX motherboard, according to Via. The APC motherboard measures 17 centimeters by 8.5 centimeters and can be housed in any standard Mini-ITX or microATX chassis, Via said. The company is targeting the system at both do-it-yourself computer enthusiasts and OEMs looking to get their systems to market quickly. "Like a bicycle for your mind, APC will enable more people than ever before to explore the vast online universe," said Richard Brown, vice president of marketing at Via, in a statement. Via claims APC consumes only 4 watts when operating at idle power and 13.5 watts at maximum load—10 times less than a standard PC system. It also offers hardware acceleration for demanding video formats, according to Via. Key features of the APC, as listed by Via:

• Optimized Android OS
• HD TV support
• Hardware acceleration of the most demanding video formats
• VGA and HDMI display ports
• Four USB 2.0 ports
• One microSD slot
• One 10/100 Ethernet port
• Audio-out/ Mic-in
• VIA WonderMedia ARM 11 SoC
• 2GB NAND Flash
• 512 DDR3 SDRAM
• 15W power adapter
