This morning on an Italian newspaper... "Here's a computer for 5 US...", journalist here going silly.
I really think that this type of products have very small to do with stuff like teensy or early arduino's, I own several pi but I'm mainly use for stuff like OpenCV,server or heavy media handle, it's impossible substitute my teensy for time critical stuff, interfaces, etc., fur such type of things I don't need an OS and a 2A/5V supply! I own also a UDOO quad, the idea was great, a powerful CPU plus a DUE microcontroller in the same board but because poor support and many other problems (like horrible wifi, weird integration of the SAM and not last the cost) now it's catching dust in the library.
absolutely yes! I found in many shop's here in Italy, evaporated in some hours, but what a surprise, they still have it in budget pack or starter pack at the same price of a pi2 or even more! A friend of one of these shops told me that they are selling a lot of budget pack because the people cannot order the single board, and of course the budget pack it's overpriced for what you get!
Please noooooooo! You are my hero and things like teensy are diamonds, think about how many projects are drived by Teensy! Just the stuff I have seen around with leds it's possible only by using a fpga that it's not as easy. Now that arduino goes absolutely silly with genuino and totally unsane decisions it remains only Teensy, ESP8266 it's nice, surprisely powerful and unbeatable cheap but doesn't have essential stuff like a serious SPI, a real I2C, GPIO's, etc., it's a nice tiny gadget very useful for play with wifi and get some nice gadget, before ESP add a wifi was costing a fortune and uses too much resources, now that have an almost workable IDE platform people use as standalone but even that it's far away from Teensy.
You are right when you take time to choose Teensy successor, I have seen the work around this from idea the early time of the first 3.0 (not mention 2 since was another story) and have realized how it's hard, but Paul, you have done an incredible and almost impossible job almost alone (ok, there's some contributors, and happy to say that are all amazing), it's a small community, not big as Arduino or Raspi, but for sure the quality and support of Teensy have NO COMPETITORS and I'm sure you will surprise again everyone with the new Teensy whatever.
Take me everything but not touch my Teensy 3.1!
