ZeroDesktop hopes to spark mainstream change with $99 Android PC

At $99, the mini PC developed by thin-client expert Young Song is meant to be affordable. In fact, the price is so low, most consumers won’t hesitate to buy one, he said Wednesday.

But unlike other mini PCs that run Windows, this one comes with Google’s Android OS installed, with the aim of shaking up the desktop market.

“Nobody is making an Android PC,” he said, on the sidelines of the Computex show in Taipei. “But I think Android can become mainstream.”

The product, called the MiiPC, comes from Song’s company ZeroDesktop, a cloud services provider based in the U.S. Already, the MiiPC has gained some attention through crowdfunding website Kickstarter that brought in over $175,000 to the project.
