   I?d say, this article   
      
   is completely off the mark.   
      
   It starts with the subhead: ?So far, Raspberry Pi hasn't faced much   
   serious competition. That could be about to change? No, that?s not   
   going to change. Actually, there is already plenty of competition for   
   the Raspberry Pi, from the Pi clones. But a new Pi-alike isn?t going   
   to come from a big company like Qualcomm.   
      
   Why? Because the margins are so low. The article itself gives some   
   telling figures:   
      
       So far, Raspberry Pi hasn't faced much serious competition;   
       however, with Qualcomm throwing its $42.8 billion revenue heft   
       against Raspberry Pi (with its $346.5 million revenue), things   
       could change. Previously, Arduino turned over some $140 million,   
       so it was a much smaller fish.   
      
   Remember, the Raspberry Pi Foundation is a nonprofit, that originally   
   created the product for educational and tinkering purposes. You think   
   a big American company like Qualcomm knows how to make money on   
   low-margin products? It does not.
