My zipitz2 costs far less and it was an amazing tiny serial console (with an 80x25 cli with a tiny font) and a sdl2 based GUI. I could emulate the NES, play nethack/slashem, IF, mp3, join MUDs, connect to wifi to browse webs with lynx and links, read epubs with a custom script with unzip and elinks...

the zipit z2 cost (inflation-adjusted) around $225 in 2008, more than the clockworkpi uconsole does today

I bought a second hand one by less than $50.
