C.H.I.P. Is a Tiny, Incredibly Powerful Mini $9 PC That Runs Linux

I'd love to see the Pervasive Displays people create an E-Ink display controller shield for some of these new low-power computers coming out. I've kind of dreamt of an E-Ink, boot-to-Emacs, e-reader / work in the park laptop.

Seems neat. The pocketchip seems like a viable alternative to a smartphone or Open Pandora/Pyra. Micro usb otg port means I can use my meenova for extra storage.

I've seen kickstarter hardware disasters (icontrolpad2, gcw zero), so I'll probably wait to buy on the aftermarket. They aren't planning to deliver for a year anyway. It was already funded, so there's no loss if I wait til they deliver to Kickstarter backers before buying.
