Broadcom must be delighted to have managed to find a use for their obsolete part from 2007 or so. Some accountant, somewhere, is happy :-)
Probably a neat little board too, but unlikely to be $5. It's at £11.88 [0] ex VAT ex shipping at farnell UK (and can't be ordered anyway) -- that's more like nearly $20 these days.

- agumonkey 11y agoOn the cynical game I'd add that selling a pi zero at 5 then many phats to get audio, network etc, might provide more global revenues and maybe more profit :)

- buserror 11y agoNice one, they are not too extortionate on the 'essential kit' either. That pi zero might become an alternative (for me) to the Olinuxino Micro [0] and the NanoPi [1] -- these are ARM9 based so even more dated than the Pi Zero; however I can boot these two in 0.7 seconds to an application, so they've been the first draft of quite a few professional projects for me...
