End of my frustation

Former Member

After following the Raspi infos and discussions for month, I did not get a device or a preorder, even an interest entry.

 

So I decided to stop my frustation today and have ordered a Beaglebone. This has about the same functionalties as

the Raspi, but it is better suited for embedded developments, eg. 64 GPIOs, 4 UARTs, .....

It comes with a Linux distribution and one could even implement Android on it. And TI has some nice daughter boards

in the pipeline.

OK, it is more than double in price, I have to pay around 90 € including tax and shipment. But its worth to start with

my project soon, instead of burning my time waiting for Raspi, Gert-board, etc.

 

So I will have a close look next year to the Raspi project and wish to all of you successful projects.

  • I see you got yours... so you can't understand my frustration... so GTFO...

    They didn't say clear about selling... only about some "good" news... So yes i waited a good news on email and RSS...

    And got bad news now... They postponed sell date couple of times, and they don't reported about boards back to them from factory... So i think that they will say something like "We got our bords and will do some more testing and start selling at ..."

     

    So either way they wrote not clear... Why they do that? What purpose? Trickery? Yes they did...

    They promoted their shop.... Why? Trickery? Yes they did...

     

    So many frustration... In just one day!!!!!
