I wondered if anyone here knows where we can get our hands on Android ADK boards?
Are they really still expensive and difficult to find?
If so, does anyone know why?

Seems that way.

Probably due to supply and demand. They are a specialist item and only a tiny proportion of Android devices support them ( V2.3.4 and later ).
They could be made for under a tenner, I considered doing this until I realised how rare it is for a phone/tablet to have a new enough version of Android.
If Google hadn't goofed up the spec and made the Android USB port device mode only then we could plug in our virtual serial port devices and avoid all this messing around with the peripheral having to be the host and also provide power to charge the damn thing as well!

Interesting question that caused me to Google around a bit. Looks like the question should include "at a reasonable price" I am thinking that a whole OSHUG session is needed for this, including input from someone who's created a ADK setup with alternative hardware at a reasonable cost. Do we know anyone? Paul
