How much, and when is it going on sale?

Hmmm. Looks very much like a Cubieboard A20, with the components shifted around to a close match of the Raspberry Pi layout.

Is dual-core appropriate?

For small hardware, the eth0 connector takes significant space; can any wifi-devises plug into eth0-connectors?

The power consumption ust be substantially MORE than rPi?

HOW MANY?

What's an A20 chip?

Decades ago, the Indian based simputer failed: because their culture disallowed the evolution of a complementing 'eco-system'. The collaborative hobby-ist network is needed.

Google is your friend.

The "Banana Pi" looks OK except for the claim that it can run the Raspberry Pi ROM image. Since Raspbian effectively bundles the BIOS of the Broadcom BCM2835 and _not_ the Allwinner A20, that would appear to be BS.

The A20 is used in the A20-OLinuXino-MICRO and Cubietruck.

weak support (in the English-speaking world, at least).

Not necessarily - if the bootloader and kernel were in onboard flash, the rest of the Raspbian image is essentially a standard ARMv6 distro which a suitable kernel should be able to use. Anything GPU-related won't work, of course.

It appears the Cubie does this with an SD card holding kernel and bootloader, and you can then have an external USB flash holding the root fs. I think the original Beagle does that too (in both cases the SD can also have the rootfs as well if you wish).

Support is, of course, the biggest question.

One of many:

He can't do that. He has to quote the whole damn spammy post again (double spaced, thanks Google Groups) and ask a dumb question.

Sheesh!

OK, thanks. As previously indicated it's the 'social eco-system' that trumps technology. It's your time that matters, more than the CPU's zigaFlops. But even before they kick-the-tyres, when kiddies see a new motorbike, they FIRST check the SPEEDO. My [perhaps to long] post here touches on the HCI of ETHOberon, to show some of the difficult-to-describe, but valuable HCI facilities available. I think I'll name it: "Can YOUR system do this?"

stant the Elastos.org open source OS, Banana PI M1 is the dual core Android 4.2 product which more better than the Raspberry Pi.

mange and cubieboard imange.

sed on the "software/hardware service"

d 4.2.2 smoothly. The size of Banana PI M1 like the credit card, it can eas ily run with the game it support 1080P high definition video output, the GP IO compatible with Raspberry Pi and can run the ROM Image directly

Where even is this coming from? Kinda hard to believe this is $50... I look ed at the pic of it... Wheres the cpu?

China is the source of the spam, China is the source of the board.

$50 and someone is making a profit. Of course, if all you do is take someone else's ideas and tweak them, then there's a lot less R&D cost to recover.

On the underside of the board.
