Waiting for the apple fan boyz to brag how much better the iphone in this picture than the Rasp Pi. I mean it has a protective case AND a UI!!!

Anyhow...good post....Rasp Pi, Adurino are fantastic and actually easy to use. Been building with them for a couple of years. Low cost, very flexible, lot of possibilities.

The iPhone is better but the Apple gear is locked down tight....better to use a lesser and cheaper system that is totally open.

[OK, the GPU in the Pi is not fully open source but it’s still usable as a black blob]

I've never messed with one, but I've got a project i've been thinking of trying to do using one.

Do you know if it has drivers to read the data stream from a USB camera?
