Have they explained why it was so delayed? Seems like other vendors have
delivered similar products in shorter time frames.

Are they still selling for $200? If you comparing it to the SmartStick
it is 4 times the price.

But according to specs I posted in February, the Cotton Candy has
"dual-core 1.2 GHz ARM Cortex-A9 CPU w/Quad Core ARM Mali-400MP GPU",
while the SmartStick has a 1.0 Ghz ARM Cortex-A9 with an unknown GPU.
The clock difference is probably insignificant. Are all A9s dual-core,
or do we assume the SmartStick is single-core if it doesn't say otherwise?

Is it 4 times better?

How do the specs on the device you had at OSCON compare?
