It’s getting smaller. The brand new Intel Edison is a full blown SOC (System On a Chip), the size of an SD card.
The Edison was demonstrated at Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2014 by Intel CEO Bryan Krzanich. It runs on an DDR2 RAM and the recently announced dual-core Quark processor, which is roughly one-fifth the size of Intel Atom.

Freescale has unveiled a tiny, open, Android-based wearable reference platform based on an i.MX6 ARM SoC and supported by a Warpboard.org community site.

We live in an age where more and more devices are being run by operating systems, and are being connected to the internet that can seemingly be found all around us. The latest of such is a Belkin Smart Slow Cooker. As you might have guessed, the Slow Cooker is powered by WeMo, which is based on Linux and powers a multitude of other home based devices. This crock-pot is able to be controlled remotely via the WeMo app for Android or iOS and will be sure to have an edge on other slow cooking challengers. Mums no longer need to stay at home and wait for the cooking to be done. This functionality is huge and will surely make huge strides in 2014.

Roku’s set-top boxes which were known for being cheap and simple to use have now been rooted thanks to hackers from GTVHacker.
-
Sales of the open source BeagleBone Black SBC, which began shipping in May, have surpassed 100,000 units according to BeagleBoard.org.
-
A Russian startup has produced a Linux-based WiFi controller board for remote control and video observation applications, and has demonstrated its use in a remote controlled car.
-
People have been loading Ubuntu and other Linux distributions onto Android TV sticks for about as long as these cheap ARM-based devices have been available. But the Rikomagic MK802 IV LE is one of the first models to come with Ubuntu pre-loaded.
