The tplink wr703n is a 400mhz MIPS computer with a USB port, an Ethernet port, and wireless networking which sells for about $20 (on volumerates.com, which is unfortunately down at the moment). It has a completely functional Linux port and is supported by OpenWRT. Not as fast, and fewer peripherals than the Raspberry Pi, but an indication that the $25 price point on the pi is doable, I think.


Thanks for mentioning that, very interesting. Link for the lazy: http://www.volumerates.com/product/genuine-tp-link-tl-wr703n... The 32MB of ram restricts the applications quite a bit unfortunately.

Amazing to think the impact of these low-cost computers.. goodbye expensive routers, NAS, set top boxes, PVRs, media centres. It can't be too long before they (ARM devices) start eating into the low end laptop market.


if that had just a BIT more flash I would be all over that.
