Explain how?
Something like that could be vital to AI and Robotics which could shape the future of the world. I don't think you've thought what you said through.
Point missed?£30 on eBay will get you something 10x more powerful and useful
It's a pile of junk, £30 on eBay gets you something more powerful and useful.
30 years ago yes it would be worthwhile..
Who cannot afford £30 to £60 for a pc?
Point missed?
this is to learn on and therefore needs to be as cheap as possible.

Yep, point missed
Back in the 80's parents bought their kids ZX81's, that led to a whole generation of programmers and electronic tinkerers. Make something that is as cheap as chips and parents might buy them just to spark some interest in their kid. In fact I can't imagine what parent wouldn't do this unless they are happy with them flipping burgers.
The cheaper something is the more people buy one to experiment and the larger the community around it. It's the community that will drive this not the price.
These days £300 is cheap, people will buy a new pc or laptop.... Even people on benefits have laptops, sky, mobile phones, ps3's and xbox's. This is a product 30 years late...
Price is no longer the most important thing almot everyone has access to £100's look at the success of apple are they the cheapest?
And do what with it - play games, browse the net, rip DVD's?These days £300 is cheap, people will buy a new pc or laptop....

Having watched the latest update video, I'm keenly awaiting for this just as a temporary measure as I decide whether or not to get a new desktop PC.
1080p output is a big attraction!
As much as i like and support the project, i think if the aim is as an aid for teaching and learning programming then it's far too powerful. KISS, and there's no way anyone can get their head around an ARM chip, never mind how it fits into a full system. No, the best dedicated programming device would be a simple 4/8 bit CPU that you can actually understand, and possibly build for yourself.
