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
