Hi,

Most are probably wondering what an "Overo Earth" is. Well, it is one very very small computer with great potential! As you can see in the image the whole computer system is about 70% the size of a sitck of gum. Of course the company that makes this tiny powerhouse is named "Gumstix" and have been producing really small computers for a while now!

Even though the computer is really small (it is actually "under" the integrated circuit below the micro-SD socket in the picture to the right) it comes with some pretty impressive specifications:
