Quad Core 900MHZ CPU 1 1G of RAM
Solid state storage (SD Card)
DC power supply
A theoretical price of $35 (currently obtainable at $45)

Seriously, how is this not an ideal platform for 99% of computer projects?
Why isn't one embedded in every toaster in the world?

I have used a PI(b+) ind its pretty damn good. A little slow and not a lot
of RAM (700MHZ single core and 512M RAM), but you could use it as a
general purpose computer.

Maybe I'm old, but this much computing capability the size of a pack of
playing cards for $35 in quantities of one, seems like a HUGE enabling
technology for a new boom in hardware products.
