Most hardware things I can think of need one or more of: - ethernet and/or wifi - realtime clock - very low power (much lower than rpi) - tiny (wearable) size - sub-millisecond deterministic timing (not a Linux strong point) - tons of cpu (makes pi2 much more attractive than pi0) - analog audio in/out (present on pi-A and pi2) - camera interface (but I don't like the Pi cameras) - etc. Yes you can add most of that stuff to the pi0 but the cost of the add-ons swamps the cpu board. A power adapter for a pi0 costs more by itself than the pi0 does. I'm sure the Pi0 is good for some things (robotics?) but they are somewhat niche even for embeded. Of course the $5 price can't be beat. So if you've got some cool application ideas, I'd be happy to hear them.
