I've played around with the Edison. It's nice to have wifi and bluetooth if you can get it working, but the platform doesn't seem to be very well supported by Intel. Despite being around for a couple of years, I had a lot of trouble finding needed modules that would work on it. It seems like if Intel were serious about it, they'd have software developers building the linux packages and maintaining a stocked repository. Also, on the forums you'd see old and nagging bugs with basic operations like getting the networking up and running without having problems because by default usb0 owned the default route. You'd think that Intel would have addressed these things. Eventually, I decided to not trust Intel. I was worried that they would stop supporting the platform and leave me hanging, having spent thousands of hours building a solution around it. Now we can see that they're off on a new platform. I won't be spending any time with it.
