VIA's Avatar APC 8750 was released all the way back in May, but the first batch of pre-orders was depleted almost immediately.

Even the people who managed to score an order at the time had to wait until mid-July for their device.

Now, Newegg has listed the miniature PC as in stock, though we aren't sure how long this situation will last.

For those who don't know about it, VIA APC 8750 is a small, neo-ITX PC based on an 800 MHz ARMv6 CPU and featuring a 3D graphics engine good enough for everything Raspberry Pi does, maybe more.

It is priced at $59.99, or 48.86 Euro (according to the fickle exchange rates) and, due to its HDMI port, LAN, USB connectors and other ports and plugs, should have an easy time turning a normal HDTV into an Android 2.3 Gingerbread Smart TV.
