Many of those sticks run regular GNU/Linux distributions as well.

E.g. an Allwinner A10-based* "MK802" stick easily boots regular Debian armhf
(or Arch or Fedora) from an SD card: http://linux-sunxi.org/Bootable_OS_images

No need to bother with any of the Android b/s. And it costs $35 shipped:

* there is also a dual-core A20 variant, but that one may be a bit less widely
  supported with the hobbyist GNU/Linux efforts.
