Move over, Raspberry Pi. This startup is building a $9 computer
CHIP has on-board Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. (Did we mention it's $9?)

Dave Rauchwerk and a team of eight people are creating a $9 computer, designed to dovetail the success of their $249 Raspberry Pi-based camera. Their $1 million venture-backed startup, Next Thing Co., aims to put this crazy-cheap, hackable computer into the hands of as many people as possible.

The computer—known as the CHIP—hit Kickstarter on Thursday. Already it’s blown through its target goal of $50,000. As of this writing, the company has raised over $407,000 from over 8,000 people, including this reporter.

The CHIP is in the vein of small, Linux-based, inexpensive computers, like the Raspberry Pi and the Beagle Board. Crucially, though, it has built-in Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, so you won’t have to sacrifice a USB port. The computer runs a 1Ghz R8 ARM processor and hums along with 512MB of RAM, and 4GB of flash storage. It also has a full-sized USB port, and a composite video out, so it can work with older televisions.

When mounted into a Pocket CHIP, you've got a pocket-sized computer. (A pencil eraser works surprising well as a stylus.)
