I'm sure I just read about a $6.95 version (can't track down the link right now).

Is this one different?

Yeah - they also pushed out the Orange Pi Zero...

See below - ASP is 7 bucks, but looking across the China sites, best price is around $11USD FOB Shenzen (which means shipping/duty perhaps)

There seems to be enough interest perhaps - lobby for a maker board sub-forum here?

Again - with a lot of these kind of boards - really does depend either on the community or individual skills to bring one up...
