interesting article,
"For as it turns out the chip that powers the Raspberry Pi computer -
a BCM 2835 - was born out of the BCM 2722. Which, as you will be
aware, was the chip that powered the first-ever video iPod."

"It would be nice if through the Raspberry Pi the circle was completed
and the iPod's granddaughter inspired the iPod of the future. " :)


 i believe - it would be the first drop into mass market,
after that many of existing but frozen projects would
re-appear,
so far the most useful and "real" among these wich got into real
production and on market,
among  i'v seen was  -

Amazing project by style, software and inspiration, not so - by price.

Another good use for these 25$ machines, besides FreedomBox is in a
portable child PC's,
maybe like a portable personal boxes for expensive school monitors,
700MHz ARM11 processor, 128MB RAM, OpenGL ES 2.0
and 1080p output,
it's just great.
