Value proposition time haha :-)

1) you have access to the Raspbian and Pi ecosystem 2) it has actual usable UI, commercial-grade I would say

The whole idea of this project is to help makers to be portable with their projects. The display is optional.

So the point of the device is to be able to develop pi stuff which is then most likely used on a regular pi when deployed? Am I interpreting that right?

[penkia]

yes, and when you're done, it's portable.
