Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.

okay, for the tech weenie in me, i'm out. the allweather a13 is pretty limp (single core, no built in hdmi, etc.) compared to other armv7 offerings out there. add in the hdmi adapter and you're not to far off from a pi 2. i'll stick with my pis (pii?) for now. though i do give them kudos for all of the adapters, extra boards and mobile add-ons. it looks pretty cool to that end.

Competition, even if different types of apples, is great ;)

Absolutely. Enough space in the market for both.
