To me for my initial intention for it, the big deal is that it offers 1080p(i(e))* video and an SD card in a well priced device, with 'ethernet' being an excellent bonus. The ability to 'relatively easily' [tm] produce a video display system for SD stored images with relatively powerful microcontroller support with the complete core electronics costing under $US40, is "attractive". "Real video" is, in my opinion, what sets RP apart from other similarly priced 'alternatives' to date.If people want to demonsrate practicable alternatives at similar prices I will be delighted.
