But does the Raspberry Pi run on a battery? The iPhone is highly optimized for mobile use. Both in hardware and software. Can the same be said about this chips

But does the Raspberry Pi run on a battery?
The iPhone is highly optimized for mobile use. Both in hardware and software. Can the same be said about this chipset that the Raspberry Pi uses?
If not then the comparison is not very fair.
- OhArgh 15y agoyea according to their site you can run it on 4 AA cells. Can you buy an IPhone for $25? http://www.raspberrypi.org/faqs http://www.raspberrypi.org/faqs
- wr1472 15y agoI think it requires about 5w of power so yes. In fact I'm planning on getting a micro usb solar opwer pack to use with it if I can get my hands on a board.
- st3fan 15y agoThat is pretty cool. You can't buy an iPhone for $25 but you also cannot buy a Raspberry Pi for $25 that has WiFi, 3G, BlueTooth a display, 64GB of flash and 512MB of memory :-) Anyway, I look really forward getting my hands on an RP.
- OhArgh 15y agoYea I was looking at the video of it running XBMC. Thinking of running it as a media center
- jmaygarden 15y agoI can go out and buy an iPhone 4S today. Can you buy a Raspberry Pi at any price right now?
- freehunter 15y ago"It's better because it's available now" isn't an incredibly appealing argument when the price different is around $500.
