- moylan 15y agowell at the moment similar priced products are far lower specced. but of the small list here ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-board_microcontroller#See_also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-board_microcontroller#Se... ) i've played with 3 of them. they are doing well. now for the same price i can get a system that will do 90% of my computing needs with the right addons? yes please! there is a market for small systems like these, embedded, remote locations, areas were space is a premium. it doesn't have to be a huge market to be successful. i like low specced systems. my main computer between 94 and 99 ran on 2 aa batteries for a week at a time. i reckon it's more likely that people develop wearable computing and other new technologies when building blocks like these are commonly available. just my 2c.
