The IOIO is a board that provides a host machine the capability of interfacing with external hardware over a variety of commonly used protocols.
The original IOIO board has been specifically designed to work with Android devices. The newer IOIO-OTG ("on the go") boards work with both Android devices and PC's (details [here](http://ytai-mer.blogspot.com/2012/05/second-generation-of-ioio-is-in-works.html)).
The IOIO board can be connected to its host over USB or Bluetooth, and provides a high-level Java API on the host side for using its I/O functions as if they were an integral part of the client.

All user documentation is on [the Wiki](https://github.com/ytai/ioio/wiki).

You can get answers to questions and get news about IOIO on the [ioio-users discussion group](https://groups.google.com/d/forum/ioio-users).

The [IOIO Gallery](http://pinterest.com/ytaibt/ioio/) lists various IOIO projects to give you some ideas of what you can do with IOIO.

And this is [the blog of Ytai](http://ytai-mer.blogspot.com), the inventor of IOIO, where new developments are normally announced. Specifically, [this introductory post](http://ytai-mer.blogspot.com/2011/04/meet-ioio-io-for-android.html) provides a good overview of this technology.
