hmm i wonder if this will be decent enough tojust surf the web on a tv on.
its basically a roku 2 LT/XD/XDS for the most part. same cpu, same ram (256mb) and with ethernet vs wifi.
so i suppose its not THAT cheap given a roku is $50. but i like that you can do whateve ryou want with it, will be a fun thing to experiment with.
the cotton candy is much more impressive honestly. i mean the difference in hardware here is like, the difference between say an original droid and a droid razr .
the broadcom cpu in the rasperri can decode 1080p though so it supposedly has a fairly decent gpu but the arm11 core on there is not super fast. at least with the cotton candy you know itll be able to say run a browser etc at a reasonable speed given its basically got similar hardware to something like a razr /galaxy nexus. i can't see it being nearly as cheap though, probably $100
