Despite the lack of ethernet-port and on-board wi-fi this might be perfect to use for the Internet of things. It is quite impressive that such a small board can be so powerful.

We all know what it is and what it can do but a couple thing surprised me, you can back-feed power into it via the data usb port like you could on the original B boards (something to think about if you use a powered usb hub), and the micro usb slot is not spring loaded, which makes sense sine the objective is lower cost yea id rather have full size usb and have a pin header and Ethernet and analog audio instead of a video out, but this is a great product never the less. It is soo tiny, great for small form factor projects, only real con is it did not exit a year ago, when i got a A+ to upgrade my thermostat with

I have been looking for a replacement for arduino in some of my projects but could not find anything cheaper until now. This is a great piece of kit.

A really nice little board, perfect for embedded and headless applications. This will probably replace all the arduino based microcontroller boards I had been using.

Pro's: *Cheap *nice and small - about 1/3 an original B *Very low power usage, even for a Pi *compatible with the Pi gen 1 ecosystem Cons: *You will need to add extras. *Not compatible with Pi camera/display *Bit of fiddling required to use HAT's. Most of the features of the Pi Zero can be found all over the net at the moment, So I'll just add that they all met with my experience; it's a Pi, just like a Model B+, but clocked a bit higher, using less power, taking up less space and a lot cheaper, it's great. My only issue is that I kind of feel that for most a $7/8 computer that included full sized ports would have been more useful. Very few people will own a mini HDMI anything, and whilst most can be expected to have a few USB A to micro B cables from smart devices, again most people will have to buy an adapter and probably a USB hub. My overal verdict is that it's great, but that adding a full sized HDMI and USB port would have actually lowered the over all set up cost of the Pi for most. That said the basic kit offered here on Pi Hut looks very good if you don't have these things and only makes it a tenner. Shipping to Aus was two weeks over Christmas and a very reasonable £2.50. All in all very happy with my new toy!

Wanted me to send it back. Way more expensive for me then buying a new, and more costly for them then just sending me a new one. So not to happy...
