The Pi winds up being cheaper...and is more proven.Patio, your are right on.
The Rasberry Pi is now at $5. Hard tobeolieve.
Does anybody make any money on this?

The PI is not $5.00...
However the features it has compared to your example make it cheaper in the long run...
Currently you can get them for $25 - 30 Bucks here...Without the whiiped cream, it is now $5 US.

Raspberry Pi Zero: the $5 computer
Of all the things we do at Raspberry Pi, driving down the cost of computer hardware remains one of the most important. Even in the developed WORLD, a programmable computer is a luxury item for a lot of people, and every extra dollar that we ask SOMEONE to spend decreases the chance that they’ll choose to get involved.

The original Raspberry Pi Model B and its successors put a programmable computer within reach of anyone with $20-35 to spend. Since 2012, millions of people have used a Raspberry Pi to get their first experience of programming, but we still meet people for whom cost remains a BARRIER to entry. At the start of this year, we began work on an even cheaper Raspberry Pi to HELP these people take the plunge.

Prices on other parts vary....Geek it needs the other parts...as i stated it's 25 to 30 Bucks US with connectors etc...If you already have some parts, you don't haveto buy tghe whole thing.
Just 45 for the bare esentials.
The poer supply can bew a battery charger for a SMART phone.
Use an old USB keyboard for input. Use a TV set for a monitor.

I give up...Regardless of which of these is used, you can get a pretty reasonable browsing machine for quite affordable prices and in incredibly small form factors using these.

I have a Pi 3 myself and  for it's form factor it's quite impressive. My only real complaints are with the software I was using with it (Emulation Station/Retro Pi for old game emulators). Being able to swap Micro SD Cards and go from that to a Linux distribution is pretty cool though.

I expect Pi Zero is largely aimed to compete with things like the Arduino, for experienced users seeking to minify their own projects. For example, Get a Zero and a Pin adapter and you can put it in place of that Pi 3 you've got ringing a bell when your front door opens or whatever.Untill I started looking around, I had no idea there was a price ware at the lowend.
