That's the part I don't agree with.  The $9 device is only good for 
embedded devices (headless).  It is $19 with a VGA interface or $24 for 
HDMI, neither much different from the $25 for the pi.  The "dramtic 
impact" would be in the form of a user programmable device much like the 
Beagle or pi, not a blind unit like CHIP.

I'm sure they will sell a lot of units at $9, but it may well never 
catch up with the pi.
