WHAT IS YOU INTENTION WITH THE BANANA PI? WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?SOME PEOPLE HAD RESERVATIONS TOWARDS A CHINESE COMPANY.
The initial intention for Banana Pi is education. And the Raspberry Pi has strong and huge community and resource, we want to use its extension boards and some software, so we design our Banana Pi to IO compatible with Raspberry Pi, and try our best to make its software work on Banana Pi. We all know that the performance of Raspberry Pi has some disadvantages, such as no sata, no 1Gb ethernet, only 512M memory. We want to provide people a more powerful single board computer to help them complete more projects that Raspberry Pi has its short performance. Like onwcloud, the Raspberry Pi has sata and no 1Gb ethernet, so Banana Pi is more suitable for Owncloud. We do not expect to replace Raspberry Pi, we just want to make up some disadvantage that Raspberry Pi has. As we say, LeMaker hope to become a opensource and sharing community that help promote maker movement and creativity and contribute to education, so Banana Pi is just one platform to realize ideas. We will design more powerful and interesting products to make life better and enrich.
Chinese company has some bad record in the world, but I want to say China is developing, and Chinese creativity is also very powerful. And LeMaker consists of young PhDs and masters, we are all under good educations, we have passion and creativity to realize our dream. Like America dream, we also have Chinese dream. We promise LeMaker will be a new representative of China.
