Yep....$9 and it is a full blown hands on computer that will take dozens of add-ons....keyboard, terminal, printers. I just ordered mine. I can only imagine what this is going to do in the"Third World" here and in othrcountries.

Be interested in how "full blown" it is, or becomes, and at what cost to add ram, ports and peripherals, and if it will run more than just a base copy of Android and/or Linux.
