Only 64MB of RAM?

In 2013 I bought https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CHIP_(computer) for 10E including shipping.

ARM Cortex-A8, WiFi, bluetooth, GPIO, i2c, 4GB NAND drive, 512 MB of RAM

Serious question: given that the hardware is open, why is nobody replicating the same thing at a similar price?

2013? That wiki link says the release date was 2016, but the company "had entered insolvency. Many customers still had not received their pre-orders". Sounds like it wasn't profitable to create such cheap devices?

I love my PocketCHIP. Perfect form factor. Get one or two on eBay before they become rare!

I want to try installing OpenBSD on mine sometime soon.
