Title: A $5 R-Pi! The Raspberry Pi Zero!
Post by Fernando on Nov 26^th, 2015, 3:02pm

It's more like a Raspberry Pi Model A+ but double the RAM (512MB), and a 1GHz CPU! On a smaller board! BUT AT $5!!!

And it is tiny!

What it has:

Broadcom BCM2835 application processor

512MB of LPDDR2 SDRAM
A micro-SD card slot
A mini-HDMI socket for 1080p60 video output
Micro-USB sockets for data and power
An unpopulated 40-pin GPIO header
Identical pinout to Model A+/B+/2B
An unpopulated composite video header
Our smallest ever form factor, at 65mm x 30mm x 5mm

I see it as a hyped up Model A/A+ on a tiny board. You can put in a USB Wifi in its only USB Port and go from there. I would say one with a larger antenna; and I seen Wifi/BlueTooth USB modules so you can do both.
