   Hey Richard!   
      
    RM> RPi3 is _CHEAPER_ here than the RPi2.   
      
   At the local robot shop in Nanaimo they are about the same price within a   
   couple of CAD (<- Canadian dollars) and the RPi2 is a tad cheaper.   
      
    RM> Faster CPU which is 64 capable.   
      
   That seem to be debatable.  The cpu is 64 bit but nobody seems to want to go   
   out on a limb as far as a 64 bit OS is concerned.  Without knowing for sure,   
   the only one who is talking about the possibility is Linaro and they are not   
   supporting RPi3 from what I understand about it all.   
      
    RM> Integrated WLAN and BT.   
      
   The wlan interests me since it *should* be mesh capable.  I've never cared   
   about bluetooth but somebody around here might.   
      
   So far I am not convinced.  Offhand, without knowing for sure, the odroid   
   appears to be a better choice which uses the same cpu except clocked at 2GHz   
   and comes with 2G of ram and a gigabit network chip.   
      
   Life is good,   
   Maurice
