the flaw with this logic (low income families access to pc is via Chromebooks) is that everyone already has an arm computer in their pockets with much more power than the rasppi or even Chromebooks.
i will always say that the next pc revolution will come in the form of the first open smartphone.
- pmontra 10y ago+1 but it's not a flaw, it's how it is. There is no easy way to develop on an iPhone or Android phone using the local CPU and storage. I stress "easy". You probably agree on this because you're advocating an open smartphone. I think we can do that with an Ubuntu phone. Not mainstream though.
- skybrian 10y agoThe difference is that Chromebooks have a keyboard. Programming without a keyboard is still a significant UI challenge - there are experiments but how usable are they?
- gcb0 10y agomy phones have a keyboard, when i want.
