Really not sure that this is the path for the future though. Much too slow for gaming, much too limited for most except for the minimal internet user. Does have some applications but not so much for the masses.

At the late stage, nothing I would invest in especially since the millennials are going much smaller and more portable.

I'd think it would be more suited to commercial and household automation of things like HVAC or security systems.

Gaming is not the future of productive people.

If you live for amusement, your future is mortal indeed.

They’re little stepping stones in the advancement in technology. That little computer is an overkill for home security, vending machines, and front end processors (mini computers that control BIG iron) computers.

At $9 bucks a piece (I’m skeptical), an enterprising young engineer might make something for the military with them.

Put some detectors on ‘em by the 10000’s and drop them from a plane and setup a chaos net and viola, you’ve gridded out your battlefields. Great for passive detection of overhead planes.

Make them float, put sensors and data collections on them, toss em in the ocean and find them someplace else in the world. Great for mapping ocean currents.

Space applications, medical applications.

The only downside is, there are plenty of these types of things available now.
