Tablets: Pipad Service?

I was looking to build a pipad. I developed a grid of price and information. Absolute minimum is $99 based on pi 0 with a 5" screen. The best you can get is like $240-$270 based on pi 3 with wifi and Bluetooth, 32GB storage, and 12 hour battery. If they're this cheap, I mean in comparison to the Ipad or Galaxy Tab, why is there no build service for these things? Is this viable and could all the same hardware be used for the Banana Pi and Arduino? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:2436:d489:b984:5553:ace4:d4aa (talk) 23:51, 18 November 2016 (UTC)

Pi versions

I used this page as a resource for obtaining a case for an old Raspberry Pi I picked up, only to discover that important information is missing from this page (or is poorly displayed) particularly regarding the B revision 1, which has no mounting holes and can only be edge-mount. Had I known there were significant physical differences between the B revisions, I would have made a better purchasing decision.

Here is an up-to-date resource that identifies 23 different Pis. I leave it to you to determine how best to integrate this information.65.94.249.3 (talk) 23:18, 24 June 2018 (UTC)

New os

There is a new Raspbian os version released, called Raspbian Stretch. Can someone check that out?

Declaring possible conflict of interest

The following Wikipedia contributor has declared a personal or professional connection to the subject of this article. Relevant policies and guidelines may include conflict of interest, autobiography, and neutral point of view.

Kristina0 (talk · contribs) This user has declared a connection. (Did a lot of the work regarding understanding the VC4 side of Raspberry Pi, author of the open source VPU firmware.)

Figured I'd mention that I'm the author of the open source blobs, I extended the section on it a bit though it's based on entirely factual information. I'm not affiliated with the Raspberry Pi foundation and have no interest in promoting the product paid or unpaid. I could also improve the article with better technical information about Raspberry Pi but unfortunately a lot of it is not possible to cite due to discussions taking place on IRC channels or in private. Anyway that's straying slightly off topic, bottom line is, I have no interest in promoting anything (especially my old and deserted projects that are no longer in active development), though I do feel the article could use more accurate technical information beyond what's supplied by Broadcom, for example VC4 fusing and secure boot capabilities of VC4 (bootsig.bin and co), I mean it's a fun little world on the other side of the ARM processor that most people are not very aware of.

That's not to say I lack subjective views on the matter, I definitely have a bunch, and I recognize that they have no place here (even regarding aspects of the article as a whole). However I would say I'm hardly unique in that aspect, everyone usually has a degree of subjective views on things they may write about, being able to remain neutral and stick to facts is usually more important than one's personal views, which, if desired one can express through other mediums.

Welcome! If you run into any frustrations with Wikipedia I will be happy to help. You can ask any question on my user talk page is at [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Guy_Macon ] or you can email me at [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:EmailUser/Guy_Macon ].

Re: "a lot of it is not possible to cite due to discussions taking place on IRC channels or in private" You can repost any information you want to be citable on Wikipedia on https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/ and leave a note on this talk page that the information exists so we can decide whether to add it to the article. (We would consider you to be a reliable source regarding the Pi and would consider the fact that you are posting to www.raspberrypi.org to be good evidence that you are who you say you are and not an imposter.)

Finally, I highly recommend our page at Wikipedia:Best practices for editors with close associations. --Guy Macon (talk) 10:59, 24 June 2019 (UTC)
