Yesterday came out in almost every digital media and we continue receiving news about this new board have been made from the *BBC* quarters in collaboration with 29 companies, of which highlights some as *ARM, Barclays, element14, Freescale, Lancaster University, Microsoft, Nordic Semiconductor, Samsung and the Wellcome Trust*.
What it gives this board that is interesting?. I'll tell you after the jump...
The first is that sixth graders pupils from *UK* will receive one of it **free of charge** (This means about **one million boards**).

Let's check out some features:
Size: 4x5 cms
ARM Cortex M-O processor
5x5 LEDs matrix
2 programmable buttons
1 accelerometer
1 compass
Bluetooth LE
5 I/O rings
1 USB
This board alone does not make much sense to us and is more like an *Arduino* that other board, but imagine what you can do together with the *Raspberry Pi*.
It will be available in October and I have not read anything that is to be put up for sale, although being *Open Source* development, any company will.
