Yeah, I did a doubletake as well. I think "groundbreaking" is a bit of an exaggeration. The Internet of Things has been on the hype train for a decade now, but it still hasn't arrived for cost reasons - and I don't think this changes the economics at all.

I used 'groundbreaking' because this is not a full-fledged computer like the Raspberry Pi and this has significant constraints when compared to the Pi. Despite this limitation they were able to include a Wi-Fi chipset. Maybe groundbreaking should've been reserved for something else better, I'm sorry.

  It's also twice as expensive as a Pi.

  On the contrary this has a 400mhz MIPS-based processor with 32MB of RAM that runs a version of Linux--it definitely is a full-fledged computer, just with an Atmel AVR hanging off the serial port.
