I used 'groundbreaking' because this is not a full-fledged computer like the Raspberry Pi and this has significant constraints when compared to the Pi. Despite this limitation they were able to include a Wi-Fi chipset.

Maybe groundbreaking should've been reserved for something else better, I'm sorry.

On the contrary this has a 400mhz MIPS-based processor with 32MB of RAM that runs a version of Linux--it definitely is a full-fledged computer, just with an Atmel AVR hanging off the serial port.

It's also twice as expensive as a Pi.
