With USB, ethernet, and HDMI interfaces, the board computer can connect to a wide variety of devices such as a mouse, keyboard, or LCD display. Digital tinkerers are also given lots of flexibility through expansion headers, including 65 digital I/Os, seven analog inputs, and access to a variety of analog and digital peripherals. I guess my complaint is that I don't see an SD card slot.

I found that the Texas Instruments AM335x Sitara MPUs in the Beaglebone Black has a starter kit which isn't too expensive considering it is a $5 dollar ARM chip: http://www.mouser.com/new/texasinstruments/ti-am335x/ http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Tex ... xmB54gA%3d http://www.ti.com/lsds/ti/arm/sitara_ar ... HQS=am335x If anyone wants a review of the Beaglebone Black, here it is: http://beagleboard.org/Products/BeagleBone%20Black http://www.adafruit.com/blog/2013/04/26 ... one-black/ This video shows the Beaglebone Black on what I believe is a Motorola Atrix 4G Lapdock: http://www.ti.com/product/am3359

However, you do get wifi, dual gigabit ethernet and a 4.3inch touch screen - it's almost an Android tablet, but without the battery or case. A Nexus 7 is about the same price. As ever, it depends on what you're planning to do: this dev board seems not to have any great number of GPIOs. Cheers Ed
