Well described by one wag as "a slightly higher specification Raspberry Pi, for slightly more money", the Cubieboard is an uncased board measuring 100mm by 60mm sporting an AllWinner A10 (ARM Cortex A8 + ARM Mali 400) running at 1Ghz.
512M/1GB DDR3 @480MHz, HDMI 1080p video out, 10/100M Ethernet, 4Gb Nand Flash, 2 USB Host, 1 micro SD slot, 1 SATA, 1 infrared port and two 2x24 2.0mm male header expansion ports (including I2C, SPI, RGB/LVDS, CSI/TS, FM-IN, ADC, CVBS, VGA, SPDIF-OUT and R-TP) round out the spec. It runs Android, Ubuntu and other Linux distributions.
The Cubieboard seems popular, and at the time of writing was out of stock at several of its distributors (see the list here).
There's a thriving community around the Cubieboard, including a Google+ group and a traditional forum.
