20% cheaper, 24% shorter and 42% thinner!

Eben Upton spoke about it a few months ago and it's already the new revision of the *Model A*, with changes almost all expected...

Raspberry Pi Model A+ Launch

Obviously this is a *B+ model* cut in benefits to give your projects a system less power consumption. Here are its features, although you imagine:

  • 700MHz Broadcom BCM2835 CPU

  • 256MB RAM

  • 40pin extended GPIO

  • Better sound

  • 1 x USB 2 ports

  • 4 pole Stereo output and Composite video port

  • Full size HDMI

  • CSI camera port

  • DSI display port (Raspberry Pi touch screen display)

  • 4 mounting holes

  • Micro SD port

  • Micro USB power connector

  • The board has a smaller footprint but is fully HAT compatible

  • Size: 56mm x 65 mm

  • Weight: 23 gr.

  • No Ethernet port

In my humble opinion, they are still fail putting only *256MB RAM*. They should have taken advantage and launch the plate with *512MB*, I'm sure sales would reach the top. What do you think about it?
