Internet of things apps, I suppose. The built in connectivity of these
new SBCs is what makes them special (that and the price).


Also noticed that I typed $5 rather than $50 .. oops.

It would be interesting to use one of these (or a Pi for that matter)
to make a low power kiosk/terminal for kitchen use
(recipes/news/reading email). I imagine that the Android version
would have fewer challenges out of the gate with a pure touch screen
interface.

I was just talking about using one of these to build a PC for my car. Is that a thing people still do?

How would you interface a touch screen with this? Is it pretty much prototype, plug and play? Or would there be programming involved?
