e where=20
they start with lower specs from an existing reference design (which ot=
hers=20
have pointed out go for as low as 70-100 Euro) with a higher price to t=
hen=20
fund other devices. The line I'm thinking of specifically is "Just as=20=
important: the proceeds will be helping fuel the efforts that make this=
all=20
possible."=20
Now, I have no idea how feasible this would end up being, as it likely =
largely=20
depends upon descent sales and how much is profit. So, on one hand, it =
sounds=20
like they're trying to get something to market quite quickly with an op=
en=20
source software stack (without any lock downs, a definite plus), but on=
the=20
other hand, it is a lower spec machine (with no official ship date.)
All in all, I'm cautiously optimistic this could be a good thing :)
