Here is the MIPS creator. If you don't like ARM we could port to this one instead.

I'm going go read the specs of the MIPS. It is 1.2 GHz dual core. 1GB RAM and will cost $65
 
I have to admit that I have always found MIPS interesting.
But with shipping this is $75.
I just received two 2GB quad core 1.8 GHz A17 based set top boxes that ran about $80 each.
And running Android, these are more practical for the every day uses I have for them.

I might still order one of these MIPS based boards, but it isn't that practical a purchase.

Android - when you care enough to run a crappy, non-portable "run anywhere" branded language / environment which tries to support as many viruses and Trojans as Windows...

Interesting opinion, but Android has always worked well for me.
"branded language / environment" ?
I'm pretty sure the term is still "OS" (short for Operating System).
And..."tries to support as many viruses and Trojans as Windows".
Those require support?
I always thought their presence was a good indicator of the size of the user base of an OS and its general popularity.
