<div>That is cool. I really would like to have a cheaper Arduino Mega, this is not really it, I want the larger RAM, storage and more USBs, but do not care about the HDMI stuff.</div>

<div>I will be playing with a couple SparkFun ESP8266 Thing boards over the weekend, which are 3 times the price of the Pi Zero, but not when you at WiFi, SD card etc… can you even get a WiFi usb dongle with a micro USB connector?</div>

<div dir="ltr">Oh dear. That's pretty amazing. The only microcontroller on ARM that comes close in price, that I know, of, is the mcHack, and this has a GPU built in...
<div><br>
</div>
<div>... The only way this could get better is if intel takes note and drops the price of its x86 embedded line. I was pretty happy with the Pi2 -- this is an amazing deal for anyone making a project around the pi.</div>

I imagine most of you will have already heard this morning, but the new Raspberry Pi Zero (based on the Pi 1 architecture, but a bit faster) is $5!<br>

<br>
</div>
<div> Even at $35 is was a pretty disruptive price - at $5 they've become virtually disposable.<br>
</div>
<div> I wonder if other architectures are going to try to compete with an offering at this price, or if components this cheap have margins too slim to be profitable.<span><font color="#888888"><br>
