Finally found something for my small brothers, now I don't have to worry that they will break another super-expensive phone :D

I like his quote:

Valentine: When you get a virus, you get a fever. That's the human body raising its core temperature to kill the virus. Planet Earth works the same way: Global warming is the fever, mankind is the virus. We're making our planet sick. A cull is our only hope. If we don't reduce our population ourselves, there's only one of two ways this can go: The host kills the virus, or the virus kills the host. Either way...

Do you think that such devices can be a good alternative to Raspberries or Arduinos ?

the raspberry pi is maybe cheap but you need to buy a lot stuff to be able to use it. every thing is sold separately. you end normaly with 60$ at least

here you get for 4$ LCD, WIFI, BLUETOOTH, MICROPHONE, SPEAKERS, ANDROID OS, CAMERA ...
you can do lots of stuff with it. i would buy 10 of those and build great stuff with it. but i dont know where i could get them and the question is how much
would it cost incl. shipping.

Thats exactly what I was thinking of :)

A while a go I read about similar very cheap smart phone but I think Indian Government was paying to make it affordable to citizens so I do not know if it is possible for people outside India to get such prices .

We can only hope that it has some effect on other brand prices and that they feel obligated to drop their price aswell.

I was hoping for a real price action for that new iPhone. but it's still ridiculous expensive for what it is.

and almost €100 euro more expensive than what they first told.
