Sounds great :yus: Just the thing that a monitor and other devices cost a bit too much to make these useful.
Shouldn't this be at the computing forum?

Seen this on Kickstarter a couple of months back.
Great to see that is on business!

Could be considered as a low end VPS right at home but has WiFi and Bluetooth.

Shame, doesn't look like it supports HDMI, though the image shows a VGA, perhaps its an expansion?

That would be a dream, it always nice to find a device that can be hooked up to a TV ala Google Chromecast, at a low price.

Anyhow i answered my own question, there is a HDMI adapter/expansion for this thing.
Just pretty pricey in the bundle, would be nice to see how much it would be without the pocket stuff.

I guess you posted just a little too late to see my last post :}

I've been looking forward to this, anything that knocks Raspberry Pi off its pedestal is fine by me. Their entire organization is extremely anti-consumer and scummy, even though, to be fair, they stated from the get go that their intent wasn't to make the device for end users.

I've been using firmware modded Pogoplugs as home servers but this would be a good step up based on specs (I'm running 128MB RAM on the pogos).

pretty cool. can make a pretty cheap irc bot with this
