I swear I've read about those a long time ago…

There is no way it will run windows btw. E: Oops read your post wrong…

I think they are more for development work.

This board.. will NEVER GG Microsoft and Apple.. By the size of that, where the hell will my graphics card fit -__- Where do I put my cooling fan.. Hahha. No space for any components -_-

It's powered by a Micro-USB port.. that says a lot. Plus for the ppl who don't know coding, that's going to suck.. I wish them luck though.. It's just something cool I guess for microcomputing.

its a projects that was started a few years ago

they sold some pre-dev boards on ebay and they recently went for a few thousand dollars each (the money went to charity)

there are 2 boards, the A board and the B board

the B board has better specs than the A board and the B board will be released sooner

the A board will cost $25
the B board will cost $35

im going to get the B board when it comes out

its mainly for teaching people about programming so i think this can be pretty cool and popular

It is cool for $25 but I doubt people will actually use it/replace what they own with it.

It's cheap, if you're looking for more power get a sheeva, guru, guru-plus (Link seems to be broke?) or dreamplug.

That's not what it was made for….

It was made for teaching people about computing.
