Probably time to admit I'm addicted to these awesome little gadget boards and
devices. And I just discovered this one: the HummingBoard[1].

Get ready to fall in love with new HummingBoard – a small and powerful,
low-cost ARM computer that ignites the imagination. Whatever your dream,
the HummingBoard will help make it happen – the possibilities for creating
the next great IoT innovation are truly limitless. The HummingBoard allows
you to run many open source operating systems – such as Ubuntu, Debian and
Arch – as well as Android and XBMC. With its core technology based on
SolidRun’s state-of-the-art Micro System on a Module (MicroSOM), it has
ready-to-use OS images, and its open hardware comes with full schematics
and layout. Best of all, as a Linux single board computer, the HummingBoard
is backed by the global digital maker community, which means you can alter
the product in any way you like and get full kernel upstreaming support and
all the assistance you need.

The big, obvious advantage is that the USB hub is powered, which would allow
you to connect it to an external hard drive full of your data, something
that's kind of a hassle with the Raspberry Pi (well, not a huge hassle, but
an extra step).
