BeagleBoard + case and bits + OS = £599

Am I missing something?

Ok that exotic hardware costs more, but c'mon... Wed, 27 Apr 2011 10:48:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (biffuz) Comments RE: £599? http://www.osnews.com/thread?471172 http://www.osnews.com/thread?471172

Well, ARM hardware now is far from being "exotic" =) Wed, 27 Apr 2011 11:14:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (viton) Comments RE: £599? http://www.osnews.com/thread?471173 http://www.osnews.com/thread?471173 Your line
Beagleboard = £89
could be ammended to
Beagleboard + RISC OS = £89
as the OS is free from RISC OS Open.
That's a DIY solution to running RISC OS, and great if you are technically minded.
The ARMini comes as a properly packaged, ready to use, out of the box system - 'plug and play'.
The two solutions are aiming at two different sorts of RISC OS enthusiast. Wed, 27 Apr 2011 11:17:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Martin H Hansen) Comments RE: We're talking about RISC OS... http://www.osnews.com/thread?471192 http://www.osnews.com/thread?471192 Always the case.

The article describes a full attendance and queues... don't look like there were that many people attending, and this "is the biggest show of the year", I wouldn't want to be attending one of the smaller shows :-) Wed, 27 Apr 2011 13:48:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Coxy) Comments RE: Photos http://www.osnews.com/thread?471196 http://www.osnews.com/thread?471196 One of the biggest things talked about were the boiled sweets on offer at one of the stands... that's worth going all the way to wakefield for Wed, 27 Apr 2011 13:50:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Coxy) Comments RE[2]: Photos http://www.osnews.com/thread?471199 http://www.osnews.com/thread?471199

I missed out on both the boiled sweets and the Bounty bars! The queues may not be evident in the photos but it was certainly reasonably busy.

Laugh all you like, but I think the turnout actually wasn't bad for an OS which is battling hard to be
"No Longer Thoroughly Obsolete"!

Do you have access to a BeagleBoard? If so, give it a go!

I love learning new ecosystems. Endeavors like the ARMini are more about passion than profit. As far as I concerned, that's a good thing. Go punters!
