Anyone know anything about these? Apparently it was designed as a set top
TV box. Now they are selling them as a Raspberry Pi compatible SBC. Comes
with a case, power supply, and HDMI cable. It has an MMC card inside
flashed with an OS called Armbien that is a variant of Raspbien. It has two
USB ports, an HDMI port, and an Ethernet jack. Runs on 5V, but uses a
coaxial connector instead of a micro USB.

The company is supposedly based herre in Portland. They were selling them
for $29 limit 6 per purchase, now they are asking $35, limit 2. For another
$10 you get a four-port USB hub and a Bluetooth dongle.

I'm wondering if there is any sustainability to these, or is it a one time
good deal and when they run out it is over?

Anyone know any more about them?
