APC Paper: a $99 Android PC That Looks Like a Book
APC is expanding its idea of cheap Android computers with a device that is actually a fully functional, encased product and not just a mainboard.
The APC "Paper" integrates the company's $79 APC Rock board with case made from recycled cardboard. It is not the prettiest case you will ever see, but if basic Internet access is all that you need the Paper could be worth a look.
The computer is based on Android 4.0, and uses an 800 MHz Via ARM Cortex-A9 CPU, 512 MB RAM, 4 GB flash storage, as well as HDMI, 2 x USB 2.0, microUSB, audio in/out, and 10/100 Ethernet connectivity. There is also a microSD card slot.
Preorders start in March and will be priced at $99.
