The board supports Android 4.0 with Linux 3.0.15, which is pre-installed in Mini4412 COM, and Boardcon recommends development in VMWARE 7.0 with Ubuntu 10.04 using a toolchain released in 2009.

There are also several optional accessories: LCDs, GPS module, camera module, Wi-Fi module, and WCDMA module.
The module and development kit appears to be available now, but pricing is not available publicly. You may be able to find more details on Boardcon EM4412 SBC and MINI4412 CoM product pages.
