Depends on the cost. If it's much more than $350 then it's probably cheaper to find a phone or tablet on ebay.

- swombat 15y agoConsidering RaspberryPi is building this for $25, for these guys' sake it better not cost $350!!!
- dspillett 15y agoYou are comparing apples to oranges there though: the specs are significantly different: * more powerful CPU (or at very least the same design at a higher speed, 1200MHz rather than 700) * more powerful GPU (both can play back 1080p OK, but the GPU can be used for much more than just movie playback acceleration) * more RAM (1024Mb on the CC, 256 on the RP(B), 128 on the RP(A)) * wireless networking via 802.11b/g/n and/or Bluetooth (the rp will need a USB device plugged in to do either of these) * the thing the RP has that these don't are wired networking built-in (and then, only on the slightly more expensive model B) and USB ports (it looks like the CC will operate as a USB MSD but I can't see any wording in the descriptions that suggest it can act as a host for USB devices) I plan to grab at least on RP (the planned-to-be-$35 model B) when they turn up as the spec and the price combine to make it irresistible as a techie toy, but what you get for the extra cost of the CC (the target is $200, not $350) is considerable extra power and built-in wireless options. Depending on your needs this price-for-performance might be a good deal, though the Pi should do admirably for what I plan to play with.
- dspillett 15y agoApparently the target cost is $200.
