<br>
</span>Yup. While reading some comments about it lot of people were talking<br>
about the 'Hardkernel' ODROID-C2.<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.hardkernel.com/main/products/prdt_info.php?g_code=G145457216438" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.hardkernel.com/main/products/prdt_info.php?g_code=G145457216438</a><br>
<br>
$40 (so $5 more than the RPI3) but the specs knock the RPI3 out of the<br>
water.<br>
<br>
Gigabit ethernet, eMMC (guess this is a addon piece you can get it's not<br>
like the beaglebone where it's on the board - still a<br>
big upgrade from SD cards - which it does support) IR receiver, ADC gpio<br>
pins, 2gb ram. Also android support which is pretty cool.<br>
<br>
Their other more expensive board ODROID-XU4 ($75) is very very nice with<br>
a barrel power connector and 2 USB 3.0 ports. It's also a far more sane<br>
design in regards to where connectors are.<br>
<br>
I guess main thing the RPI has going for it is the wifi, bluetooth<br>
and obviously the massive community support and mindshare.<br>
<br>
Lot of choices these days that's for sure.<br>
