Fed up Waiting for Raspberry Pi

dorsetknob · May 22, 2012, 03:24 PM

A "New" Player has just anounced its entry into the new market niche that Raspberry Pi is trying to carve out for itself
Story here
http://www.reghardware.com/2012/05/2...erry_pi_alike/

Spec's are listed on the above page it does look like it will eat into the Pi Market (pun intended)

The 1708 x 85mm APC sports an 800MHz ARM 11 CPU - VIA's own WonderMedia 8750 - 512MB of DDR 3 and 2GB of Flash. It can do 720p video through HDMI, but it has VGA too, plus 10/100 Ethernet, 3.5mm audio I/O and four USB ports. It has a Micro SD slot for storage expansion.
Thanks to the reg for pic and story
