C.H.I.P.

Looks like you can buy a raspberry pi like computer for $9 here
CHIP - The World's First Nine Dollar Computer - getchip
CHIP (stylized as C.H.I.P.) is a single-board computer crowd funded by now-defunct Next Thing Co. (NTC), released as open-source hardware running open-source software. It was advertised as “the world’s first $9 computer”. CHIP and related products are discontinued. NTC has since gone insolvent....
What is more interesting to me is C.H.I.P Pro. Looks like you can build your own devices for fairly cheap? How hard would it be to build an android tv box using this?
Does anyone here do hardware and can weigh in?

@dangeRuss I have one, but I haven't done anything with it yet. I'm thinking I might use it to prototype something for work, see if it works as well as a pi for driving a wallscreen.

(For those who don't get it - which I am assuming is the majority - here's the relevant video:

It looks like you need to spend another 15 of your US dollars to be able to connect it to the monitor, though.
Also, that's a familiar-looking forum...

Call me out on this if I am wrong, but isn't the Pi Zero still ~$5?
Filed Under: So you can get a raspberry pi like computer that is actually a raspberry pi for $9!
