Not to belittle their effort, but if you add the HDMI shield to the main board, you end up with a 24$ computer. That is pretty close to the RasPi 2.

- pantalaimon 11y agoThere are many applications where you don't need HDMI.
- icefox 11y agoExcept almost more interesting than the chip itself is the PocketChip which lets you easily swap the computers so not only could you upgrade to a faster chip when it comes out, but you could treat them as cartridge. At $9 a pop I could sell a game for the pocketchip for $20 and it just so happens that the game comes on a full blown computer. Combined with an open source design and you could have a number of different computers with different capabilities like star fox back in the day. If you need more of {X} you get the $12 chip, no wifi? $6 chip This is what I have been on the watch for ever since the raspberry pi compute module came out for much more than I was expecting. The computer is no longer the expensive part, the display is.
