Inventing a flawed argument only to knock it down is called a straw man --- don't do it. Nobody suggested cranking out 25 or 30 versions other than yourself, and yes, I agree with you, this suggestion of yours would be non-viable. All that BBB needs is a single follow-on product around this time, and it's sure to sell in large numbers if the price drops --- that's how the market works. If the family continues to have a strong following in 2 or 3 years' time, *then and only then* evaluate whether there is room for yet another in this successful series. We already know that there's room for a new member now because so many people have been asking for it. > *As long as someone agrees to buy 25,000 of each it would make sense to do.* IoT/M2M is projected to be a multi-billion dollar industry, so why are you thinking in terms of such tiny numbers? You're already one step ahead in the game by having one of the few high profile products for this area in BBB, an advantage which many companies would die for because you can't just buy popularity and brand recognition. You have it with Beaglebone. Yet, you want to throw this advantage away by letting it fade through lack of family evolution. It doesn't seem to make a lot of sense. Perhaps you're not aware of the great value of what you have. Morgaine.
