A key advantage would be if you could actually buy it. Raspberry Pi is still "due to extreme demand the estimated delivery time is uncertain and may exceed 12 weeks."
Gumstix are more expensive but easily available in any quantity, so that's what I'm designing with now.
- catch23 14y agoIf you buy on element14, I believe you can get it in a few days. Supposedly these guys can ship immediately: http://www.mcmelectronics.com/content/en-US/raspberry-pi http://www.mcmelectronics.com/content/en-US/raspberry-pi I bought one last week and it arrived no slower than amazon.com so I think it's safe to say orders are no longer taking forever.
- mrbill 14y agoI bought six RPi units from Newark/Element14 over the past couple of months with no problem (in batches of two, once they allowed bulk ordering), and have since bought four more from MCM, all of which have shipped within a few days of placing the order. It's sort of hard to believe anyone who talks about RPi units not being available when I have TEN of them.
