Variscite DART-4460 SoM is Small, Very Small, and Powered by TI OMAP4460

Variscite announced DART-4460, a new system-on-module based on Texas Instruments OMAP4460, with up to 1GB LPDDR2 RAM and 8GB eMMC flash. The key differentiating point of this module is its size (17 mm x 52 mm), which could make it the world smallest dual core module, although Logic PD’s DM3730 / AM3730 Torpedo SOM might be the smallest of all in single core configuration.

The company provides support for Android 4.1.2, Linux 3.4, and Ubuntu 12.04. DART-4460 can use the same “VAR-OM44CustomBoard” carrier board as its larger sibling (VAR-SOM-OM44) via an adapter (DART-4460-ADAPTER) that makes it mechanically and electrically compatible. The module datasheet and mechanical files (DXF and 3D files),  as well as the carrier board datasheet and schematics are all available for download.

I could not find availability nor pricing information. Further details may be available on Variscite’s DART-4460 page.
