That pocket chip housing looks awesome! Very excited to see more of that thing
I just bought one too.
Idk if it will replace the pi altogether, just because the pi has a following, shields, support, etc. But I can see it taking a heavy portion of the pi's users. I can see it taking more from the arduino following through. With that many GPIO and a 1GHz CPU for only$9, this thing beats the crap out of arduino. Lets just hope it is as easy to program for; especially on a low level.
Im just waiting for the price to drop into negative dollars on these things.
If i had money right now id get a shell one with hdmi. Doing lofi visuals in such a small device is only useful
Cool, I might go for the pocket version in the future.

why hdmi for lofi visuals? most video projectors take composite video, which this seems to already have and doing lofi in hd seems a bit odd
Hm. Not many gpio pins, but it is well equipped with serial comm. I will just have to get creative with the parallel LCD connector.

My experience expecting venue projectors to have composite is pretty sad. I just assumed hdmi is the nowadays standard. I agree with you that using a HD conection for 256 x100 pixels imagery is kinda absurd, tho. Haha
Anyways i want one. Anyone wanna donate money?
PocketC.H.I.P. sold it for me, I'm inspired now to learn some code/programming! (especially since I have a synth with MIDI now as well!)
