Arrow How does the PocketCHIP compare to the Raspberry Pi?


Hi,

How does the PocketCHIP compare to the Raspberry Pi?
Quote:
When the Raspberry Pi hit the tech scene, it made a huge impact. It wasn't the first tiny computer, by any means—the Chumby, the PogoPlug, and other hackable systems on chips preceded it—but there hadn't been anything quite so intentionally open and affordable as the Pi. You didn't have to hack the Pi, you just put an OS on an SD card, booted, and you were running an open source computer. The computer you were running only used a dozen watts of power, and it wasn't encased in a bulky plastic body that would end up in the landfill when you decided to upgrade.

Best of all, it came at a time when the blossoming maker movement just happened to be looking for processing power.

With the market primed for tiny computers, several similar projects surfaced, and when The Next Thing announced "the world's first $9 computer," called simply the "CHIP," the idea was fully funded in days on Kickstarter. The CHIP variant, the PocketCHIP, is an all-in-one $69 system that features a screen, the CHIP, an on-board battery, and a physical keyboard.
The question is, how does the PocketCHIP compare to the ubiquitous Raspberry Pi?
Hope this helps.
Have fun & enjoy!
