C.H.I.P. is a computer. It’s tiny and easy to use.
C.H.I.P. does computer things. Work in LibreOffice and save your documents to C.H.I.P.’s onboard storage. Surf the web and check your email over wifi. Play games with a bluetooth controller. With dozens of applications and tools preinstalled, C.H.I.P. is ready to do computer things the moment you power it on.
C.H.I.P. is a computer for students, teachers, grandparents, children, artists, makers, hackers, and inventors. Everyone really. C.H.I.P. is a great way to add a computer to your life and the perfect way to power your computer based projects.
Already ordered mine... for 9$, what is there to loose!

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.
